Another Reality

Some days you need to create another reality
hang on to a bouquet of helium balloons
and ride over a countryside colored with palate box hues.
Some days you need to dress up in leather chaps,
a wide brimmed ten gallon hat, boots, and a red bandana.
Some days you need to sit on a toad stool and recite
every nursery rhyme and fairy tale you recall
and if you can't remember endings you can
find new endings--weave them out of spun sugar.
