Look, it’s always a dangerous state
- exuberance –
a place that leads to Falls, especially
when others might be watching; brothers,
sisters, fathers,
mothers. I predict they might laugh
loudly at you - like any cynic -
but on bright
days when the sun winks, let it out.
First off – with a peep out from
sleepy eyes he starts the
world again and smiles
looking at toys
who know places
like seaside where
ice cream tastes good
and dodgems where they bumped
and exciting musicals
when people on stage wave
like a big mirror.
He knows where he’s going
and knows it doesn’t matter.
On the school-bus he laughs
loud at songs and driver
each with its bubble of colour
and in minutes hello’s
headmaster, teachers, fellows,
feeling again excitement
like dodgems, musicals,
ice cream knowing he’s got it
made with smiles and friendship,
love and funny people;
lucky life.
feeling is a single letter plummeting
into sentences by ee cummings
floating waving landing to release
a dust cloud with no capitals
no semi colon and no full stop
