Searching for some Joy
Delved down memory lane
Saw my baby’s smile
It was everything in that bag for me and I knew it.
Everyone saw my smile.
Some people wondered what was inside.
Some asked.
Some told me they had done the same a long time ago and I asked them what they found.
Funny, some didn’t really remember.
There was a man though who took his hat off and turned his eyes upwards.
He told me that he found out that everything that was inside was also outside.
He held my hand and smiled at me.
on the
farthest side
of the
evening
I’m driving
on highways
built over
the bones
of dinosaurs
looking for
that one
elusive thing
under a
neon blue
sky accented
by fireflies
as beautiful
as stars.
