I once dreamt that I was
swimming in a sea of color
my heart on fire
my head a cool blue
We were all green
brimming with hope
dreams and desire
no pebbles in our shoes
Our fortunes were not yet
dimming, flailing in vain
busted and for hire
masquerading as new
I climbed a hill that was
bickering with a puffy cloud
my legs admiring
the world we outgrew
