Yesterday's wishes
have flown like pigs
leaving their wings
to the cabbages
and to the kings,
(whatever 
that may mean).

Yesterday's wishes
are broken 
like dishes,
an earthquake's 
fatality
(the physics
of love).

Yesterday's wishes 
are today's 
fragmented
actuality, 
the reality
(on file
for posterity).

I like this poem, especially the last line, 'on file for posterity'. I guess our children discover our failures after death. Good luck with the contest.
