about

first line by aurelia nelson-reske
some imagery from crockett johnson book of same title
dedicated to my teacher leslie scalapino
written in 2010

lyrics

things that don't happen happen in dreams
and also in children's stories
there can be kids and there can be kings
eating the gifts that another wave brings

fishing the green explaining the tide
a shell to hear it all in, two ponies to ride
spelling it out with a wandering toe
letters are marks in the sand or the snow

it is time for it to rise
walk with time before it flies
go on not knowing, the mystery's wise
look out from in, in from outside

watching the castles drown in swill
watching molasses run uphill
the death of the teacher some will say
reveals a new creature, there is no someday
