Moon Shell

Invocation:
A Prayer for the Lost Dream
To the person
Who could have been a parson,
To the actor, live wire
Who wanted to be a cab-driver,
Or who went wild
Over Lady Godiva,



I am speaking, pal,
Of your lost dream, gal,
The one that always



Comes close (near miss),
Of poets and poems, only a notion,
Of masterpieces muffled
By bad association,



Dreams postponed due to
Unwanted situations,
Charity cases without end:
