"we know, but we don't want to know,
so we pretend we don't know, because knowing

is very inconvenient
because then we have to change"

Dandelion fluff is the way to make wishes
with eyes closed tight
blow your wish into the wind
your eyes open inside
a sea of seed pods
whisked away carrying your wish
to the grove where the faeries play
and magic lives
if there was a place where such things could come true
this would be the place
the grove
where the faeries play
