This and That

Stuffing the sky into a glass bottle
And tossing it out to sea
Where the waves would drag it down
Down
Down
To where the anemones all live

And joking with yesterday’s sunset
About how scary tomorrow’s storm will be
Make every little happy thought
Sweet
And nice
And complete

While riding on the Milky Way,
Relinquishing on my upcoming first kiss
I met a little pair of wishing winds
That whispered
And sang
Until all my dreams came true

But then I cried two days from now
And I thought, “Why me?”
So I looked back over my shoulder only to see
A cat
A dog
And a little rock for me
