throw lucky horseshoes. wish
on a star. jump on a calico
trolley car. get off
at first avenue. wait
in the rain. call for a
taxi. start over
again.
spend your last sixpence
without asking why. fill
cupid’s quiver
with whiskey
and rye.
wake up
in the morning. follow
the sun. the moon’s there
to greet you
when daylight is done.
