With all Christmas purchases made, she implores her invocation.
She casts a spell for morning, well-being, and optimism.
She asked me what I wanted.
I’d like some dreaminess with hair on it.
Not smooth like some dreams come.
Or maybe, a good game of monopoly or trivial pursuit.
I shift between wakefulness and fantasy.
It is part of the unfortunate reality.
Not much difference between Crescent moons and sterling silver teaspoons.
They were hand-me-downs borne from to many war torn sights.
I found it ha ha ha hard to capture certain visions.
I took the sip of tea made of me.
I drew the cup between my lip and the moon.
I need it when my mouth is numb, broken or uninspired.
I learned, slowly, that poems have a mind of their own.
Be they soft and flaccid or bad to the bone.
Yet, I write about it, even if, I am wrong.
A man-child, I was eleven, and now nearly 1004.
My crisis un-read, not relaxing it makes my moon blue.
I can see around the corners.
Eventually, inventions become intentions you know.
She said go play intellectual monopoly and be-feared.
