Candy Coated ADD

Candy Coated ADD
or
Thoughts of Anthony and Welfleet, MA

Falling from the top of the sky-
I don't remember and you don't know why.
Purple haze clouds my vision-
Rods and cones, thoughts of science class and fission.
Drop the anchor and lower the line,
Broken bead strings- so retie with twine.
Hopeless fantasies, your "Once Upon a Time,"
A Disney princess curtsy's then walks in perfect straight lines,
Like a sober driver and his untouched glass of wine,
It's Riesling like a whisper and rowboats in the tide,
Hold up your head, if you remember her song words then "Don't slide,"
Just shoots and ladders and an imagined carpet ride.
Anthony- my genie, with a crocodile wink and a nod-
Holds onto me tightly during our roller coaster ride,
I've always wondered how I can move like water but walk like sand,
Holding onto the handle bars like a firm shake of a hand.
Twine unstrung, my beads fall out onto sand
Long lost glass sweets sunk at sea,
Guided by sirens- does it make you think of me?
The airborne waves bring us to be,
A magic lamp sweetheart and naiad's candy.
