Five trips later to the local Walgreens
and I hold in my hands the perfect post card
that was made just for the occasion.
There are two famous cartoon characters
sitting on a fallen tree, I assume in the meadow,
I imagine in the middle of spring,
the buzzing bugs camouflaged by the yellow flowers
into the fuzzy carpet accentuated by the occasional white butterfly.
one of the characters says to his friend,
‘ how nice for you to be you and not someone else’.
I looked at it for a while and thought
it is a magical world where you are you,
me is me and someone else is someone else.
I would never want to live in a world
where things are different and you aren’t you.
