I keep making wishes<\/p>\n
Throwing coins into the fountains I pass<\/p>\n
But my coins are made of paper<\/p>\n
Quick to dissolve<\/p>\n
Like my hopes for anything<\/p>\n
To come my way<\/p>\n
Yet I still do this<\/p>\n
My trail can followed by the bits of crumpled paper<\/p>\n
That fall from my pockets<\/p>\n
I keep thinking<\/p>\n
That by some magic of transubstantiation<\/p>\n
My coins will become metal when they hit the water<\/p>\n
Finally becoming permanent and suitable payment<\/p>\n
To any of the fates who might be listening<\/p>\n
To a guardian angel who has a soft spot for hard cases like me<\/p>\n
To any devil who is short on deals for the month<\/p>\n
Just anyone<\/p>\n
Who can grant this wish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
