Rocket Ships

Rocket Ships

 

And before you know it

rocket ships will give way

to broken hearts.

 

Flying horses will become

missed appointments,

 

and

 

Crayolas become

colorful pills that ease

the divorce…

 

The tooth fairy

puts on a suit and

collects

 

Taxes.

 

Death replaces

the ice cream truck.

 

And yet

 

You will dream of

rocket ships.
