I Could
Fly
I drempt when I was little
I could fly
By
thundering down the sidewalk
Flapping hard
Until the air beneath
me
Scuttled by
And I was half a mile
Above our yard.I
couldn't see the future
Through the trees
Or know the other
dreams
That would come true:
Pink Elephants in Paris
What a
tease --
Yet, here we are -- Voila!
Merci
Beaucoup!

Getting To
There
Going from here and
Getting to
there --
We're all of us going
And
getting somewhere
We're all of us
travelers
With stories to share
While
we're going from here
And getting to
there.

In the ParkThere
are pigeons
In the park
And people
In the park
And
people
Feeding pigeons
In the park.
There are children
In
the park
And parents
In the park
And pigeons
Who are
parents
In the
park.

It's NightIt's night in
France
And the stars are out
And no little children
Run
about
But in America
Far away
It's bright and noisy --
A
busy day.

A Bowl of Hot
ChocolateA bowl of hot chocolate
For dipping my bread
And
croissants, more bread
With jam.
We must be in Paris
Eating a
breakfast
that's tres Parisienne.

In quaint
cafesIn little chairs
Customers sit
Like teddy bears
All
in rows
All side by side,
Watching the people
Passing by.
I
take a picture of them
Then I scratch my head
And wonder
why. |

So Many ThingsSo many things
We've yet to
say
Decisions hard to make --
Rebecca's famous
French
dessert
Marie's "Let them eat cake!"Getting caught
Out in the
rain
And jugglers
In the square.
Sunday morning
At Notre
Dame
And all that
Goes on there. Sandwiches packed
Full of
fries
And Lisa's Dr. Pepper
Bread and Cheese
At Erzi's house
--
More bread and cheese
For supper. Tapestries of
unicorns
Sculptures by Picasso
August Rodin
And Sacre
Coeur
On the hill
At nightfall. A novel read
By
Hemingway
A birthday celebration --
Who knows
Where things will
lead
When we give in
To
inspiration?
