With a piece of red chalk, we drew a rooftop over every square.
Up on our tiptoes, we hopped from color to color,
with marbles clinking in our pockets.
Back then, our playground felt bigger than the whole world.
Every square we drew seemed to whisper:
Don’t stay inside the lines.
Let the Hopscotch Bag wander the city streets with you,
collecting little stories and tucking a sense of freedom inside.
