[Whitebird Sings]

(sigh, smile, sigh)

i want to make believe
that today
is one of my
luckiest days
ever

(smile, sigh)

i want to make believe
that today
people will recognize
my special gifts

(sigh, smile)

i want to make believe
that today
people will make sure
that i get what i need

(smile, sigh)

i want to make believe
that today
people will make sure
that i get what i want
even!

(sigh, smile)

(rhythmic
belly laugh

out loud
from head to toe
giggling vibrations)
...i am going to make believe

(smile, sigh, smile)

[Doreen Peri]

i'm swimming
in the words now
and i don't know how long
i've been here,
smooth dreaming
in the exotic space
of groves,
anaesthetized
by how my soul
jackknifed into
my nature,
whole,

my goal
simply to arrive

blanketed by
the embrace of now
since that's all there
really is, you know,
that's all there really is,
and so

i watch the elms
make
make believes
and maple leaves
turn up,
awaiting rain,
and i run barefoot
on gravel
once again.

funny where the mind goes
in its travel
knowing yet
not knowing
where it's been.

........ eradicate my fortune,
........steal my guilt and loss,
........overcast my doubts with dawn,
........glaze my lips with gloss.
........let me speak of make believes,
........maple leaves to wish,
........warm my soul without control,
........in an off'ring dish.

i'm darting in between the trees,
a butterfly, wings snatched,
the catch
a putting down
inside an album stored,
a later date of fate, perhaps,
since time can't be ignored.

........the smell of pride
........has lenses wide
........in zoomed photography,
........now framed and named
........like light which plays
........analysis of me.

don't lecture me.
there's nothing new in nature.
squirrels still search
for acorns to adorn
their nests.
the tests
of time
still bring you
to my breast.

there's nothing new.
you're still the rapture
of my blue.

........up in the trees
........there are make believes,
........and maple leaves my hopes.
........so sticky in the truths i know
........of dreams which slide on slopes.
........i'm swimming in the wording now,
........i'm floating on wish
........i study me
........and all i see
........upon a petri dish

Well I be damned
it is a jam
with a theme I can believe in
taking me down again
to lay in blankets of word play
to dream of believing it’s all right today
turn the page and grab the plow
grow new dreams for awhile
and if I see a dreamer chasing a rainbow
I will surely know
He is lost in the darc
please share another rhyme to spark
his belief in believing
life is to live without grieving.

Give me this day to write
and to right the wrongs of yesterday
Tto share a belief I know is truth
Bush is a fucking idiot
but don't turn on the TV for proof.
They lie
