It can surface suddenly
like something bloated,
greenish rotten
a memory
can surface
perhaps while on the train
on a wednesday
or in bed a saturday night
perhaps something about
hiding in the wardrobe
singing the
"wonderful tomorrow song"
that I made up
silently in my head
while he was searching
all around the house
knocking over furniture
I thought the tune was pretty
and I made it all myself
"Wonderful tomorrow
tomorrow it will all be over
wonderful tomorrow"
and it had magic in it
now I am grown
and of a rational mind
and so I count from one to
one hundred
because somewhere between
one
and one hundred
the picture will
sink and be gone
somewhere
wonderful
between one and
tomorrow
one hundred
tomorrow
it will be gone
it will all be over
like something bloated,
greenish rotten
a memory
can surface
perhaps while on the train
on a wednesday
or in bed a saturday night
perhaps something about
hiding in the wardrobe
singing the
"wonderful tomorrow song"
that I made up
silently in my head
while he was searching
all around the house
knocking over furniture
I thought the tune was pretty
and I made it all myself
"Wonderful tomorrow
tomorrow it will all be over
wonderful tomorrow"
and it had magic in it
now I am grown
and of a rational mind
and so I count from one to
one hundred
because somewhere between
one
and one hundred
the picture will
sink and be gone
somewhere
wonderful
between one and
tomorrow
one hundred
tomorrow
it will be gone
it will all be over
