early as parents.
we tell them about Santa Claus,
the Easter
bunny,
how the slide or swing set,
the monkey bars
won't hurt you.
we tell
them all is well, when it
isn't.
the tooth fairy
is coming tonight.
if you try hard enough,
we tell them,
you can be anything you
want to be.
even president.
we tell them to
wish upon a star, drop a coin
into the wishing
well.
blow out the candles
and
your ship will come in.
but it's often,
pretty much down hill
from there.
