The Cruelty of Wishes
May 12, 2013
I wished for utterly nothing, things that would keep your life the same
Like a text heavy refrigerator magnet, or maybe an old board game
But for the life of me I wouldn’t stay still for now or even later
I’d bound around the cliff and push you off
Creating a masterful grapefruit shaped crater
And believe me I’d hover
For a second to discover
The real mess I loved to create
The wishes you’d beg for that I’d had; I knew I was a traitor
But if wishes were fishes…
I’d still never stay still now or even later
