smart words from a slike boy.

don't get all locked into the seemingly comfortable world of wonder
the imagination
don't worry about what could've happened
just focus on now

but you know that already
good night

-john

i wish every day was autumn and 62

mama earth's recipe for autumn perfection.
marinade in friendly breezes
until you see equal amounts
of color on both trees and ground.
add:
one part bees buzzing.
two parts birds chirping.
five parts trees whispering.
four parts grass swaying.
three parts paths straying.
one part oranges shimmering.
five parts reds simmering.
three parts yellows glistening.
two parts squirrels scampering.
one part dogs chasing.
pepper with leaves sailing.
one pinch of skateboards sliding.
clouds gliding make
the perfect finishing touch.
