Her Dreams came true
me and Bobby were peeing
in Mommy’s Rose Garden
we were going to make Yellow Roses
Susie put 2 Tangerines
under her shirt
and pretended she had Big Ones
like Aunt Mary
Bobby gave me a Banana for my pants
but i ate it instead
oh the things
that go through the heads
of us Children
the Young Ones
and the Adults Ones too
like me
like you
we hold on to our self created delusions
hoping
praying that God hears us
and makes the allusion
to our satisfaction
without the distraction
of time
like right now
somehow
we convince our selves
our whimsical fleeting desires
will come true
Grammy always said
“Be careful what you wish for”
but just like the Lottery
i wish for many things
hoping i get lucky
i have a list
a lifetime long
and some
many of my Wishes and Dreams
i have long since forgotten
they are so old
they must be rotten now
a fruit i no longer wish to eat
like that wish i made
about some scheme
that seemed
that it would make
my life all better
another wet dream
where the cream
never did rise to the top
but still here i am
many years later
still peeing in Rose Gardens
trying to make Yellow Roses
and Susie has Big Ones Now
Her Dreams came true
