to me

The sky

is a suspended blue ocean

the stars are the fish

that swim.

The planets are the white whales,

I sometimes hitch a ride on,

And the sun and all light

have forever fused themselves

into my heart and upon

my skin

there is only one rule

on this wild playground,

Earth

for every sign I have ever seen

reads the same.

They all say,

“Have fun, my dear;

my dear, have fun

in this divine

wonderful game.”
