write a poem about wishes 


you don’t have to wish on anything, actually, I like those shooting stars as much as the next guy & 11:11 is a cool time & when I blew out my birthday candles I saw shining gold, saw my current smile spread all the way into my future like raspberry jam on some good bread with real butter or if its vegan it’s miyoko’s & intention holds more weight than we think, sorry if I’m falsely accusing you, if you know the weight of will like I know when milk is 140 degrees, just with the tips of my fingers & what consumes you is either wish or in the wish family, which again, is wide & old as an encyclopedias’s dream, your late night yearning sends out a personal bat signal & I’ve been the manifestor and the manifestee, seen even the wrong wish appear right in front of me took her hand & kissed it
