One day Sarah stops singing to the sky 
but the sky can still hear voice of her heart, 
so the sky keeps reflecting secret thoughts 
she tries to hide from other human beings 
who capture song birds in cages of gold 
so only they can hear the secret truth. 

One day Sarah stands up in church and turns 
to stare at hundreds of faces that glow 
with faith that they will live after they die, 
and shouts at them that they are all robots, 
but they cannot hear the words that she speaks, 
so she walks outside on the sunlit lawn. 

One day Sarah hears the tree in the yard 
tell her that she is the last fallen angel, 
but she refuses to believe that lie, 
so she applies to jobs at grocery stores 
where she wants to arrange boxes on shelves 
to ensure everyone has food to eat. 

One day Sarah decides airplanes are gods 
described in ancient myths of Greece and Rome, 
so she waves to Jupiter and Athena 
while folding cardboard boxes in the alley 
where seven wild cats from the river woods 
eat the food she pours in bowls every day. 

One day Sarah becomes a warrior queen 
when Tom finds her working in the stock room, 
grabs her hips, and tries to yank her pants down, 
so she kicks wildly to escape his grasp 
and calls him rapist in the crowded store 
then quits her job and runs out in the rain. 

One day Sarah hears faceless angels sing 
while she browses in the town library 
so she applies for the job stocking books, 
then smiles with joy as she glides down the aisles 
to place each book in order of its theme 
because they are doorways to other worlds. 

One day Sarah sits in the coffee shop, 
crowded with hipsters plotting revolution, 
where she writes words with the plastic ink pen 
along blue lines in the spiral notebook 
for fantasy novel about young girl 
who discovers she has Athena Power. 

One day Sarah stands before the large crowd 
gathered in the library where she works, 
and reads from her published fantasy novel 
about the average American girl 
who saves the country from evil rich men 
so everybody lives through liberty.
