Wish

one day we'll collide you and I our dance will bring us together out of the vast chaos of space moving toward destinations twirling in dust and light and sound there will be another star moving in the same direction, at the same velocity as me it will be a miracle this collision that of the millions and billions of stars and planets in untold galaxies and universes two stars find each other at all like the love between heaven and earth like the gravity holding every foot to the floor I will wait for this collision 'cause everything else is milk pale in comparison

No successful words to say today Glowing, mismatched pieces all scrambling to find their place again A swaying jinga tower and upturned puzzle cascaded on the carpet Put the metal tweezer next to the funny bone and was buzzed away from the board Seems, sometimes, no matter how carefully words are chosen, it all comes tumbling down Thing is though, if it falls and cracks so easily and so fast it would never have survived Words are the heaviest pieces to play but I was never playing

Smile for me, Sunshine. 48 colored crayons. I used to repair bicycles. What's your name? You sure you don't wanna drink and smoke with me? You're an English teacher. Can I be your student, Sunshine? 48 colored crayons! Need any chapstick? Did you tell me your name? 48 colored crayons... How you feeling, Sunshine? See? See what you gone and did? You made my day. You wanna know a secret? If I told you it wouldn't be a secret.
