I Wish

I Wish
David J Walker

I wish
	I wish
		I wish
The fish
	Besides the flying fish
Could fly 
	As high as any
Bird you ever heard 
	Of flying

I am trying 
to wish the crying kid
Could fly or swim 

An afternoon whim 
	Of swimming

And try to fly
Flying high  
	And swimming fast  
Past a full moon 
And cast a June moon shadow
At night

How would I know if
“Things are different”
And this is what I wished for 
In a past life

How would I know if
	This isn’t a second chance 
	In a redo-second life 
How would I know that
	The gods are annoyed with me
	Because I was right 
I wish I may
	I wish I might

	I wish I could start over
I wish I had more time

Flight is good as any wish 
Bait the hook 
catch the fish
