and the girls dream
on their wet heads
gripping purple penguins
furry birds
and oversized bears
they don’t know
about paul is dead
or sirhan sirhan
jonestown
jon benet
or that the sun is a dying star
their heads fill
with sparkles and unicorns
at an entrance to a castle
floating in space
they don’t know
anything of the poems being written
about them while they sleep
they don’t even know that poems
don’t have to rhyme
they just need to make you remember
how to feel
on their wet heads
gripping purple penguins
furry birds
and oversized bears
they don’t know
about paul is dead
or sirhan sirhan
jonestown
jon benet
or that the sun is a dying star
their heads fill
with sparkles and unicorns
at an entrance to a castle
floating in space
they don’t know
anything of the poems being written
about them while they sleep
they don’t even know that poems
don’t have to rhyme
they just need to make you remember
how to feel
