Dear Kalpavruksha

 

Dear Kalpavruksha,

How are you doing?

It's been a while

Since I sent you my wish.

Was it lost in transmission?

Or, will it yet arrive

Saddled on Pegasus?

So, how do wishes work

In your garden?

First in, first out?

Last in, first out?

Or, is there a shelf life of wishes?

How do you do it?

When someone's wish

Is another's curse?

Does it hurt when someone says,

It's all wishful thinking?
