This one's for two special people whom I love.
Try Again
you could have had the little boy
sitting in the photo studio
curly red hair with eyes like a fawn
playing with a rollercoaster abacus
"whoosh!" he screamed and down
spun the blue bead on top
of the yellow
you could have had the little girl
who imagined she was part of the
picture she was coloring
so she'd be dancing with a green
elephant in front of a
blue-yellow-silver-pink carousel
deep in the jungle or
you could have had both
but what you got was the
realization
try again later
try again in the future
try again down the road and
again spin
round and round
like the little boy's abacus
the little girl's carousel
(don't you know it's
going to be
beautiful?)
