kindergarten had the smells
of food dusted in the air
so pungently that if you stuck your tongue out
you could taste the bread baking.

first grade smelled
like chalk dust and new beginnings
and new crayons

Tonight all I wish is a tall ship
With the wind in my hair and the sails
My heart beats with the rolling waves
As I lean, laughing over the rails.

Tonight all I wish is a tall ship
And a tune on the lips of the sky
