Fairy Tale

i am a fairy mermaid princess
a castle an emerald city
a rabbit an elf and a beanstalk

a cigarette is a magic wand
only i get to make wishes on
and my ashtray is overflowing

my new tattoo is a tiara
your aimless heart is a glass slipper
maybe i could try it on for size

my dishes dance sing and wash themselves
my bed smiles while i am sleeping
and i'm a beauty while i'm awake

poetry is every lamppost
and every street corner is you
and the whole world is a street corner
