Mary Poppins (my balloon)


Do you ever wake up with a smile already waiting
behind your mask,
it feels and looks like
No worries,
it's all good,
my pleasure,
and all are true
and on that day
for some strong sensational vibe
that moves in rolling waves
that nothing can pierce your levitated mood
or drag down your magic carpet
-that without any specific reason or cause-
every-single-thing
makes perfect
sense,
it all adds up
it all works perfectly the way
it should, the right answer,
poetic justice, (re:)solutions and serendipity
and
it's all real?

Not really?
Me neither.

The sound of falling stars

How does happenstance
happenever?
Does the light fall
thru (by accident)
or intrude only where
there are openings?
Even chance
offers probabilities, (unless) useless,
I guess, all is risk
(in)sound(less)ness
listening for a serenade
out There, 
in the near future called
Hope or Wishupon.
After all,
whose to say it
(was) all was lined up 
that way,
and this was going (all) ways
going to (all) happen
any (which) way
the circumstance of chance
happens
to 
fall
up
on
us
?

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
