Dear Whomever,
I am caught
“between competing impulses”
as I nearly slipped a moment ago
in a puddle of water, overlooked
the bright yellow ‘WET FLOOR’ cone—
Oh, you would have adored
what happened this morning,
beyond a dream!:

An old man
told me
that he mostly always wears
Sky Blue
because
he
wants
to be
a bird!

and that he just needs to locate his wings e
(that I myself could see in his spirit, that sprouted h
outward into physical form). t
“When you step outside,” I tell him, o
“I will watch and wait for you to fly up into the sky t
like a balloon let loose from the fingertips of a child.” n
“Join me!” he exclaimed with child-like bliss, i
waving his arms (which are really his wings
that I see). y
I say: “I am already in that sky a
awaiting you, cuddled in a nest of dreams.” w
He says: “Let us invent new senses, re-rout a
the old ones! I shall sip this Crème de menthe
in my folded-leaf cocoon this evening.” w
I say: “With a half-eye, I will watch, e
embracing what leaks through the unknown l
of the everyday sphere.” f
