three coins, in his pocket
to a boy of four,
a fortune.
in reality,
two dollars fifty.

the same into a piggy bank.
on alternate weeks...

but he likes,
the three coins,
in his pocket,
the
jingling,
jangling
sound.

betterdays
five ducks
have stopped traffic
well one duck,
four ducklings
and a
security guard,
with a lollipop sign
have stopped traffic
on the university avenue

and that's just fine...
happens regularly
Little birdlings in trees,
Children flailing round branches,
  .  .  .  Wings wanting to fly.

My perception of you
is a reflection of me
of all I once knew
and all that I see

Your reception of me
is a reflection of you
of all that you see
and all you once knew

Nothing we see
Is entirely true
If both you and me
Set our mirrors askew

Eye to eye
Heart to Heart
We realize we
Are all a part

Heart to heart
Eye to eye
We realize love
Will never die

See into
each other's minds
With all our mirrors
now aligned

Through each other
We can see
We reflect forever
to infinity
