"...I know people think I’m crazy
Because I dare to believe
That stars can fall into my cereal bowl
And mingle with the milk swirls.
And I know it’s irrational to
Throw crayons at God
And ask him to color the sky purple.
Yet, I remember the time that I did,
And the next morning I awoke to royalty skyward
To a majestic landscape of fantastic above.
And I remember later that evening
Finding the ladders tucked away behind the garage
Strewn amongst thousands of Crayola boxes all missing violets.
Does my memory serve me correctly or was there none of this?"
