Dennis Lee Poems

They never stop asking me
"What will you be?--
A doctor, a dancer,
A diver at sea?"
...

I'm thinking in bed,
Cause I can't get out
Till I learn how to think
What I'm thinking about;
...

I found a balloon and it went up a tree
I learned how to ride on a pony for free
And I looked at a girl and she knew it was me
When I went to the Summerhill Fair.
...

Sometimes my mind is crazy
Sometimes my mind is dumb
Sometimes it sings like angel wings
And beeps like kingdom come.
...
