wishing
wishing
isn't as easy as it sounds
maybe
but if you work at it
you can probably achieve
amazing things
if you were
in Japan
or some such place
you could go
to the shrine
toss in a coin
ring the bell
clap
bow
and make a wish
to really get results
(i'm jus making this up)
though
you might want to do that
every day
or something
well
writing out you wishes
and here
so publicly
is a little like that
plus
wishes are actually
thoughts
writing them down
(at the shrines
you can buy boards
write your wishes on them
hang them on a wishing tree)
forces you to try to figure out
what they are
sort of a dark
gleaming
globe
in my mind's eye
something about
other people
what was it?
more like random thoughts
looking at the garden
wishing i would do
more work on my cellar
not willing to plunge in
even a little
or to dreamily picture myself
doing it
though i do, a little
when i think about it
maybe wishing, then
i would think about it
in the morning
at the beginning of the week
schedule something
dreamily thinking about
a kind of stepping stone
stepping stone
stepping stone
stepping stone
oh, crazy
somehow wishing for
more definition on the street
and also
liveliness
(as you walk by
there's a kind of cave
and then a kind of ledge
that gives you just a peek
into
a landscape
rocks
and wildflowers
and beyond that
there's a lawn
and trees ...)
wishing i were in business
to be in business?
all jumbled up, now
what if i bought
several large stones
and had them delivered
large stones
large stones
large stones
large stones
wishing i were good at
crowdsource funding
like a flash
smoke
then gone
because i'm not
i suck at it
if i write
and write
will something happen?
