f I were a pebbleall day I'd lie on the shore and listen to the ripples froth and fall. I'd close my eyes and wonder how many like me the ocean was rubbing together, smoothing our speckled, hard skins. But gazing up at the night I'd laugh how the moon dropped anchor, splashing stars into millions and never a one sprinkled down. "Hello, little pebbles," I'd call. "how's the water up their?" and dream the sky was our mirror we swam in upside down.
