He's never really had much need for this beyond a rare and passing fancy.
Not something that was encouraged as a child.
Not something worth more than a passing intellectual curiousity.
And then, only enough to register it before turning his attention to more important matters.
Such an inconsequential thing.
He rarely even thinks of it.
Rarely remembers the time when he wished he could.
Be like a normal child.
Take pleasure in simple things.
He wants to kick back, relax, indulge in frivolous things.
He's never had time.
He's never had the freedom.
He can only wish, in the quiet moments that spare him the thought.
That he could someday have time to waste and the absence of more weighty, more urgent matters.
And indulge.
Savor the taste of popcorn.
Lie back and watch the clouds.
From isabeau - she got both because they were the same thing. :-)
