The video presents a short staged poetic piece titled “Finding Family,” featuring three speakers (A, B, and C) who reminisce about shared childhood experiences—swings at Greenwich Square, playing jacks, skating, and other outdoor adventures. Their dialogue weaves nostalgic recollections with lyrical reflections on connection, family, and belonging. Speaker C expands the memory into a broader sense of home, freedom, and interwoven relationships, expressing a feeling of being “home” and “free” through the bonds with others. The piece uses repeated lines and rhythmic phrasing to emphasize the intimacy and continuity of these memories, ultimately portraying how shared past moments create a sense of family and personal magic.

Chapters

Remember when we were kids? Those swings at Greenwich Square? How we used to see who could spin fastest?
I remember how I used to wipe you out when we played jacks.
You beat me? I don't think so.
Oh yes, 'cause I killed at the special tricks. Around the world, over the fence. Skating down the hill, scraped our knees so many times. Slip through the stream, do not touch the butterflies. Slide on the moss, they need powder on their wings to fly. Time well spent being us, the penny flies upon the truck. Our shoulders burnt by the summer sun.
All the fun I had with you, dressing up the cat. Time well spent being us. I can feel them. I can sense them. We're connected, interwoven. With my family all around me. I am home. I am free. I can dream. In you I have found my magic. I can afford to dream inside. Life is found thus, living every moment, soul to soul.
You are where I'm met.
You are where I'm met.
You are where I'm met.
Met to be.
