Wheel of Fortune

Imagine

There is a portal
to a world that exists
only in my imagination.
There is no Hamas, no Hezballah,
no Mosad, no armies anywhere.
All borders are open.
People flow freely to all lands.
We all live in the mucky middle.
No language has a word for hostage,
only one for prisoners of joy.
There is no capitalism, patriarchy,
sexism, ableism.
We love who we love without fear
of veiled threats.
No books are banned.
All grief is shared,
wrapped in the arms of our neighbors.
I carry gumdrops and stardust
in my pockets.
I imagine the world will live as one.
