my diction flows like liquid,
the viscosity of cool clear water
but the wry current i create does not pull my words so far.
certainly not a patch on the seas currents which reach
most anywhere, even small islands, maybe gibraltor.
i wish for a daughter with a current much stronger,
the poise to reach the world. i guess a son could suffice.
either way let them carry a warm current, enough to reach
the poles and with cutting quips, enough to melt the ice.
this is what i wish for from life.
