Ran like a machine –
Of the ticking kind –
Even to the second

Resort to tell lies about
Their competition –
Without proof to maintain their
Advantage and not earn it

Big Lift Ferry Poem F285
I’ve decided –
To stop trying
To decide –
What I want to be
When I grow up –
And just not grow up –
To be young at heart –
Without the immature part

A little girl sang
Some Matilda songs for me
On this ferry ride –
I sung Aladdin for her
Because she didn’t know it

Of shooting star wishing are –
Interesting and –
Quite unlikely to have been
Studied much over the years

Should I wish for some
Inevitabilities
That I can’t wait for –
With shooting stars seen tonight?
Or wish for hard to get stuff?
