Surround me with luck,
because the cranes just flew in
and I want them to stay.
Save me some jawbreakers,
because I want to remember
being a kid in a candy store.
Collect my Popsicle sticks,
rock candy rods and bottle caps,
because I want to remember
every wine dipped evening,
flower grown morning
and poetry painted night
because, I only have five
seconds for the future,
but goldfish can remember
forever,
if you just decorate their bowl.
