The Fairy of Fun
What’s going on in the mind of the person
Sitting next to you?
Can you feel what they feel?
Maybe you don’t want to
I wouldn’t blame you.
But what if you woke them up
with a song or a dance
Or a, “how are you today?”
“I like the way your soul was made.”
Do do dooo do do doo do do dooo do do dooo do do dooo oooo oooo ooo
Do do dooo do do doo
do do do do dooo do
do do do do dooo
I’ll build a bridge
made of art and magic
so you can come visit my world
I know there is no finish line,
So I live inside a poet’s mind
And weave worlds of whimsy
silly, saucy, sassy, sweet
Endlessly dancing dexterous feet
I’ll serve you a song as an after dinner treat
I’m an Ancient friend rising from the earth to meet you with hugs, high fives, fist bumps, and
special handshakes
I am a bottomless pit of giggles
I’ve got a mad case of the wiggles
Bouncy rubber band balls
Juggling fruit
Origami
Hullabaloo
Musical outbursts
Kitchen choreography
Speaking in poetry
I have delightfully unusual qualities
My specialty...crawling
I wonder, “How can I have fun with anyone?”
Where is my power in the room to be absurd?
No one said I couldn’t show up to the party
As the spirit of a bird
handstands and kartwheels
attempted winks and grins
hoorays and fuck yeahs
mutual wins
stories
long stares
sweet song spells
across the street yells
Might as well dance
if we’re living in hell
Might as well bless my friends with the scent of freshly baked peanut butter banana chocolate chip gluten free muffins
Than that rotting street side garbage smell
giddy focus
Hocus pocus
Buttery mashed potatoes
breakdancing
Flamenco
hip hop
Aerobics class
Pure ridiculousness
You may know me as
The sunshine shaman
Your local distributor of delight
The Fairy of Fun
The Demon of Fun
The dark elf
That whimsical motherfucker
Or simply
Jill
I am
fluid and electric
Mesmerizing
Harmonizing
Roots grounding
Hearts rising
Realizing Bliss
my song
a cosmic lover’s kiss
I am a creative sanctuary on two feet
a fountain of beauty
A house of mystery
I’m like MDMA
In my presence
You spill your stories
You can’t help but pour yourself out
Like a freshly cracked egg
My favorite gifts to receive…
Joyful absurdity
a plate of hot, healthy food
An opportunity to sing a river right into your living room
And whisper with my eyes, “Come swim in the river of Jill”
I’ll build a bridge made of art and magic
So you can come visit my world
I know there is no finish line
So I live inside a poet’s mind
And weave worlds of whimsy
Why is it amazing to be human?
Because we have the potential to become superhuman
To diverge from the norm
To move between many forms
I am a shapeshifter
A collector of vocal textures
A Replicator of rhythms
A fountain of funny
Reserved but somehow
Extraordinarily bold
Young in the face
Ancient in the soul "
This life is
my playground
my experiment
my passion
my play.
No need to be a boring blob glob
When you can be a beauty beast dropping beauty bombs
I don’t know who told you magic wasn’t real
But it sounds like they didn’t know how to have fun
Hello Supreme Magic Makers!
I replaced the content of your salt and pepper shakers
With fairy dust
My irrational laughter breaks the invisible yet tangible walls between me and you
Hahahaha!
