today i sat with three children
yes i'm old enough to call out a child
feeling distinctly and qualitatively different

and they sat there full of dreaming
possible and probable both still amorphous
and pliable equally
reachable with the same hands

care, oh care
sharp and untempered
guard your veteran mind
unfetter what you know from trammelled paths

this is your dare

a child gazes at you with i dream
