pajama walk.
if getting in your pajamas at 7:30
and going to the playground
and a singing stroll until dark
is wrong,
then we don’t want to be right.

passing the time.
the old one
takes his time
relaxes and fishes
the young ones row fast
all in a crew
the middle one
yells
from a motor boat
tells them how and what to do.

sparkle brightly.
”blooming under a cold moon, we are like fireworks…
rising, shining, and finally scattering and fading.
so until that moment comes when we vanish like fireworks…
let us sparkle brightly, always…”
