Why Not?
Why can't the blue note cry
and waste all its dreams away
like the mass of flesh around me
who hope and hope and forever
keep on hoping
Why can't the gray sky smile
and lift itself just a little higher
to touch the warm yellow happiness
where no human can go beyond
except to dream
Why can't the lone wolf dance
with fairy wings stretched out
and legs kicking up a merry tune
that rides around the sky
like a butterfly
Why can't the one dropp rain
to pour out a fury of its own
and cover the land in wet grief
where green things grow tall
just to fall
Why can't the shadow man laugh
and grab onto the coattails of a king
who just wants to play house
with the little village children
who think fairytales
