sky, puffing with cigar clouds-
striped in gray, blue, and pink…
parades around all morning

like a two- year old–fresh with ideas,
not focused enough to write
in an orderly fashion

revels in fool’s gold
impossible to hold…
knowing she can fly

grazes the infinite sky-
unencumbered by traffic,
taxes, binding agreements
