Fairy Tales

they were all fairy tales
believe in what the characters say

but the characters themselves
are not real

a girl on butterfly wings
a boy with the tail of a fish

the sea is real
and so is the air

if the message is not clear
try being there

if you do not know the word in between
try chewing one of the syllables.
