maybe
maybe
you know how I daydream Boss
how I stop washing dishes
grow wings on my back
and fly around the yard
maybe over to that mountain
with the slickrock face
and burley tree-freckles
or over to so-and-so’s house
the one I love but who sticks
his foot out to trip my mind
I’ll bet you’re a daydreamer too
urging birds to laugh at clouds
and beavers to slap their tails
at each other’s jokes
you sure are funny dreaming
us into whoever it is we are
maybe you could let us in
on your dreams Boss
maybe slap your tail
for me and my friend
