Passing by the Stars

I walk the dogs

with a 9 year old named Lili.

She sees walruses in autumn piles of leaves

and signals her conditions 

with a white leaf.

She has a song 

she would like me to share with you;

Passing by the stars

two in a row

on the way to the moon,

Passing by the stars

three in a row

on the way to the moon,

Passing by the stars

four in a row

on the way to the moon.

until you get to 10 in a row. 

-LKI 2008

It's very catchy, I think.
