L&P #15

I remember
watching The Wind in the Willows
as a kid
I was taken by the fantasy
Quirk and frivolity
that danced before me
They became a need
that took over me,
To the roll of so many eyes
and too-indulgent smiles.
Silliness does not
avoid life
and all its foibles
Rather, it embraces reality
Touching it with
empathy, sarcasm,
laughter, and tears.
Fantasy is not escape.
Fantasy is perception;
