A girl's Head

In it there is a mythical creature
and a project
for doing away with the dishes.

And there is
a spaceship
which shall come first.

And there is
an entirely  new kind of people.
an entirely new animal,
an entirely new creature.

There are people
that all look the same.

There is a car

There is anti-boredom

And it cannot be restrained.

I believe
that only what cannot be restrained
is a head.

There is much promise
in the circumstance
that so many people have heads.

This is just to say


I have eaten
the chocolates
that were in
the cupboard.

And which
you were probably
saving
for yourself.

Forgive me
they were sweet
so rich
and so tasty.

I asked the little boy who cannot see

I asked the little boy who cannot see,
 ‘And what is colour like?’
 ‘Why, blue,’ said he,
 ‘Is like the freezing water, surrounding me in the pool,
 Green is the wind racing through the leaves with excitement,
 Purple must be a dark cloud sending rain drops down, And
yellow is the sweet taste of banana cake,
 The rage that people let out when they're angry; that’s red.
Pink is the fluffy candy floss that I like to eat, and
 white is the plain sound all around me as I sleep.’

I know someone who can...


I know someone who can
throw peanuts and miss them in your mouth.
I know someone who can
roll their tongue so it looks like a taco.
I know someone who can
bend back and do the bridge.
I know someone who can
do a handstand on their hands.
I know someone who can
do a cartwheel and land on their feet.
I know someone who can
sleep in on school days and wake up when the bell rings.
I know someone who can
swim backwards and hit the wall.
I know someone who can
swim freestyle as fast as her friend Lavinia.
I know someone who can
eat a chocolate mixture without using a spoon.
I know someone who can
swim the whole pool at Swim- a- Rama.
I know someone who can
type really fast like they already know where the keys are.
I know someone who can
jog on the spot for 10 minutes and only stop once.
And that someone is
Me!
