For One Penny

I wander like an organ grinder along the streets
I sell dreams.
Invisible parrot draws fortunes.
For one penny I recall the past .

Paradox.
The water splashes in leaky shoes
While I talk about happiness.
It’s hard to notice when you have it.
When it’s gone, there is regret at its passing.

I’m calling
– Buy your dream!
– Buy your dream to turn back time!
– Relive moments better,
have a chance to do it over!
