Wishes

I 
stand 
at 
the 
road,
 i 
look 
to 
the 
right 
Nothing.
 I 
look 
to 
the 
left 
Nothing.
 I 
look 
straight 
in 
front 
Silence.
 I 
put 
the 
paper 
in 
my 
mouth,
 i 
recite 
the 
old 
spells,
 i 
walk 
on 
a 
little,
 i 
see 
a 
calabash,
 inside 
is 
a 
brass 
crown. 
I 
bend 
to 
pick 
it 
up, 
it 
says
 'NO 
But 
you 
may 
have 
six 
wishes.'

i 
say: 
' 
O 
crown 
of 
Gold, 
Give 
me 
money,
A 
wife 
like 
(Jeniffer),
A 
child,
Good 
health,
Success,
And 
finally 
be 
in 
Paradise.
