May you find help from action figures I keep. <br />May you find them in the top drawer <br />And bring them out while you sleep <br />And I welcome darkness-- <br />The flickering TV, helicopters <br />hopscotched overhead. <br /> <br />May these nightdolls help you, <br />When every questionnaire questions you, <br />When diagonal smoke <br />Mafficks treetops. <br />Use this antidote liberally. <br />May your walk to the F train be not alone.<br /><br />Daniel Nester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/late-anniversary-madrigal/
