Tomorrow’s headline
of the greatest adventure,
composed symphonies
and tragedies,
and the sea.
Discoveries and
treasures found
under park benches.
The Chicago Times.
The unsaid truth
and forgotten hope.
Wishes, wonders, and whispers,
enchantment
and question marks.
Flower seeds,
witches spells,
nursery rhymes,
fairy tails
and history.
Band-aids
and kisses.
Memories.
Stolen time
and mathematical
equations.
And poems.
These are the things
I carry in my back pocket.
