Animal Cracker Jar
A Poem for the Failed Dreams
I keep my dreams in an animal cracker jar
I write them down and send them far
I drop my dreams in an animal cracker jar
An endless abyss contains my useless wishlists
And as they fall, they mark up the walls
Leaving paperwhite streaks with their paperwhite peaks
I left my dreams in an animal cracker jar
With the intent to let them stay so the cracker animals could play
But the elephant forgot to let me forget
The cheetah quit on mauling my desire to quit
The panda rested on the bed of my restlessness
And the fish lent me water to cry
While the snake let my dreams die in that animal cracker jar
I wrote them down and let them burn in their zoo filled urn
I buried my dreams in an animal cracker jar and there they lay
