Three Words

if today I choose to put an end to

all but three words, I will keep dream

because the only people I’m ever with are in

my dreams — we are busy beavers with real lives

we talk & touch each other in our dreaming world

& I will keep children, plural, so they can be together

afraid & unafraid, because they still have a chance

if the world decides to keep them, & the third word

I've yet to choose, though in thinking about it

I’m ending ever so many words, for example, hero

& good & bad & order & law & before & after & pain

oh, there it is, I found it, the third word is river

because so much must exist for there to be rivers

& rivers run
