we will be famous among dolls
and read our poems to them
midway through tea
their arms outstretched, their eyes so shiny.
fruit flavored punch in tiny cups
and any poem you wish, small
cookies in a dish passed round
and all over doll town
they'll be reciting our verse
telepathically
or under the trees
with pursed and rosebud mouths
and in their best frocks.
