Blades of grass sashay in the breeze
A blue scarf flaps its tail in greeting
A drop of water coated in unseen fields
A lion pounces through ripe hay
A giraffe tastes the rain from afar
A maid wipes down a spotted wall
A trader of rice, beans, and cassava
An actress with the voice of a singer
An architect with a green thumb
If birds can have spaces in the air
And we, pockets in the wind
Shouldn’t there be enough for you and me?
