i am what can

i find, and i've found the seconds stay still, and they move faster as i count them. i've counted them slow and fast. i'll slow them down, and settle in the middle of them, slide in right between them. in their gaps, i was, and i am, a wish. i can, and i will, wish me there, and wish her, and him, and her again, all of us wishes. i wished us as those wishes spelled out in smiles. we're smiles meant to wrinkle, and increase with that wrinkling. we, as wishes creased the freckled, and the pale, the mahogany skin on bridges of noses. we are, we'll be those wishes written out in sparkling green, gray, blue, brown, black eyes. i have, and we have sparkled. we sparkle being them, whether those wishes come true, or whether or not i am and can be, and they're all now, the seconds, here with me.
