about

This is a pantoum, written during a workshop, based on the first sentences I came up with for the prompts, 'I dreamed…' and 'Many…'

I don't particularly think that it's bad to give people what they need in the moment — you can still help even if you can't help everybody all the time.

lyrics

I dreamed I was flying around on a biscuit
 raised by the bakers of the bread of life,
 their hands cleansed by hand, and not sterile.
 Many hands make gloves expensive.

Raised by the bakers of the bread of life,
 I put bread in the shivering hands of the poor. 
Many hands make gloves expensive. 
I wish I could have done more.

I put bread in the shivering hands of the poor. 
They ate, and wept in gratitude, and came back hungry. 
I wish I could have done more. 
By serving their need I prolonged it.

They ate, and wept in gratitude, and came back hungry.
 They could not bake their own bread without flour. 
By serving their need, I prolonged it;
I added minutes to their darkest hour.

They could not bake their own bread without flour.
 I have flour, sugar, chocolate chips.
 I added minutes to their darkest hour.
 I dreamed. I was flying around on a biscuit.
