I Once Wondered

I once wondered about the world’s normalities This was before school and endless vanities. When I was young enough to lie on the ground And look at the world and what I had found. I once wondered about the stars, Ancient kings and extinguished tsars Men and women marrying out of their class Like Cinderella, prince and shoe of glass. I once wondered where the clouds were heading If they used evaporated water as their bedding And when they lie down the rain would fall Not that it would bother me at all. I once wondered about myself If when I’m older I would remember how I felt When in the morning I would lie on the ground And look the world and what I had found.
