Until The Reindeer Lost Their Minds Poem by Robert Rorabeck

Chasing through the parks of the beaver and the
Bear,
Chasing through the aspens, where the young hearts fire
Like roman candles
And bottle rockets: leap out of the school yards
And ask, what is going on here-
And there are blue lights in the jasmine, and drunken
Wishes with the goldfish who are so pale:
They can remember the carnivals that left them orphaned,
And moved away from this suburbia-
Ran up into the snows and forest fires,
And became oblivious- until the reindeer lost their minds
And turned around as if in a spell,
Tramping the grail in the tundra that was never found.
