Come Alive

When did we become a library of children,
shelved like great novels
no one had time to read?


As Mayor of Narnia
I declare that this day must be the day we come alive.
I will declare a day for dipping our hands in butter
so we can practice letting go of what we were
and watch our hands emerge as telephones
so we can know our true calling.
