fortune tellers

I climb out of the window
in the middle of the day
to get a grip on the clouds

my gold fish has escaped
riding that yellow kite
I hover at the opening

the trees make fun of me
I could never nudge the trunks
but they allowed fortune tellers

my fortune flies in the sky
floating with that fish
I fan myself, latching the window

"I am too agitated to breathe"

    A delightful dream - agitation would be a good reaction to watching your gold fish ride a yellow kite!

    "I climb out of the window
    in the middle of the day
    to get a grip on the clouds" I like the image this creates.
