In childhood
I can't read,
Mom is in the library.
I read my mother—
One day,
The world is at peace;
People can fly. ...
Wheat grows out of snow. ...
Money is useless ...
Gold is used to make bricks for houses.
Money is used to paste paper owls,
Silver coins are used to float water lines.
I want to be a wandering teenager,
With a gilded apple,
Silver candle
A flamingo flying from Egypt,
Travel fairy tale kingdom,
Propose to the princess of Candy City ...
But, mom said:
"You must work now."
