Say!
does Wednesday have a favorite snack,
doled out on paper napkins in a bright-lit kiddie school?
maybe trade some salty fish crackers
with its neighbors?
does it jump for joy when it's time to leave,
and giggle when it gets to go to school?
Little Wednesday,
the middle child.
every week, a little older,
but easily overlooked...
perhaps it dreams,
in the way of stories,
that it will do beautiful things.
