the little girl wrote
a note, "please,
I want a little girl
friend who will
catch frogs with
me and share my
pean't but'er an'
jelly san'wich with
me at the pond,
here is my address,

AND I hope you're
out there somewhere,
signed, girlfriend..."

she rolled it up and
stuffed it down the
neck of a lavender balloon,
blew it up, knotted it,
and tied a string to its
navel, Away...Away
it flew...

Who knew, 1700 miles
away, the balloon touched
down on the mossy bank of a
pond, wedging itself between
a Mason canning jar of tadpoles
and minnows and a little girl blond,

Away...Away it flew,
little girl blond a feisty
tomboy aimed her slingshot
with a rock...Pop...Pop!
it dropped,

Many years later they are
still together catching frogs
and tadpoles, eating pean't
but'er an' jelly san'wiches,
and blowing hot air from
champagne helium...Going Down...
Going Down...Hope floats...
