Glee

(Roseland Park, 1960)

Sight a shooting star.
Pretend you latch on for a ride.

Hear wind chimes
in rambunctious weather.

Win a white alley.
Bowl a perfect score.

Stand underneath a waterfall.
Splash each other.

Ride a rollercoaster
not big enough to scare you.

Eat popcorn.
Be messy with the butter.

Open your mouth and let bees fly out.
Any words will do.
