I grasp at the stars upon the top

for desires outside my reach.

Intoxicated, I balance

my toes on the chair

and reach for the cookie jar

that pokes the ceiling with its shiny lid.

My sure, sweaty palms grip the dish

and rub it like Aladdin summoning the genie.

Life is truly opportune. The world opens up

when the bounds of fear are removed.
