our dad could produce five thousand starlings from a folded bus ticket
\nonce he even pulled forth a dragon made entirely of silk from his top pocket
\nin the summer when the grass grew long he would weave it into a coat
\nand we would climb into the pockets of the lawn and sleep beneath the stars
\nonce he leant a ladder against the moon and we climbed all the way to an ice landing
\nfrom there we threw coins from our mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s purse and ruined several cities below
\nhe showed us how to float to the top of Mount Everest by overfilling the bath
\nhow to collect the individual flames from eleven matchsticks to make a football team
\nwho would then challenge the national team of the republic of click beetles
\nonce we all climbed into the held breath of a whale and travelled through the ocean
\nand mum was mad at us because we missed our supper by seven weeks
\nbut not as mad as she was at us when dad made us suits from elastic bands
\nand we all bounced to the moon and back down again and were late for October
\nand dad invented Table-Football-Chess and Elephants-and-Elevators and Terrible-Pursuit
\nand he showed us how to remove the shadow of a scissors from a scissors
\nand then we could cut loose our own shadows with the scissors and set them free
\nand we went to the zoo and freed the shadows of the lions and the leopards
\nand the hippos and the bison and the monkeys and the emus and the camels
\nand we took them home and had a zoo against the wall and our zoo never got hungry
\nand never got angry and lasted all day until the sun went down
\nand dad and mum grew tired and sleepy and slept and their hair went grey
\nand grew into the clouds and then it rained and rained and rained them away<\/p>\n
