Oh, Really?

By Tyler Wellman

   Grow another head, paint it green
       Fly to the moon on gossamer wings
        At fourteen o'clock, March seventy-fourth
      When the new moon is full fly south by north
     To the cucumber races held every fall
      When the blue trees are short and the flowers are tall
     Under the stars made of blueberry pie
     In the middle of the night 'neath a clear blue sky
   And wonder: Why am I here with these wings of mine
 Is it merely fool chance or some purpose divine?
Then ponder as you drift in the world of Dreams
 What is real? And yet still --
  All's not as it seems
