I wish
and I know genies
privilege has always
sparkled like a magic lamp
I’ve been Aladdin
a lowly street rat
impersonating to allure a Queen
and affluent customs
I don’t know what I wish for most
life
or love
if only you could have them both
what a privilege that would be
and I know genies,
plenty
I also wish,
frequently
but either they can’t hear
or help me
seems their magic
is all rubbed out
or just some wishes
can’t be granted
