Allow yourself perchance to dream
for seam upon seam of this world is unyielding
to all of our happenstance themes.
Call I a Jesus, who overseas dwells
in a world I cannot rightly say exists,
for although I persists in scavenging the horizons,
these are the things I have not laid eyes on
and so I’m too young to insist.
“Oh, wise man, cordially save me or with
frankincense please grave me in reality.”
We ask our neighbor for a cup of flour,
beg the stranger to deflower, and when life
turn bitter-sour, are unafraid to darken
doorsteps, sugar crystals too lackluster
and dreary to spark in.
Mister Messiah, and I, angel ordinary
whisper tides of truth:
“Children, life is extraordinary.”
