wishful thinking

what if the stars
in the sky
were really just
fireflies

each pinned up there
for every wish
i wished

and what if
i caught them
in a jar
and set them free
in my room

would that make my room
a place
where wishes come true

or
would that make it
a room filled with
wishful thinking

wishful thinking
i assume

because, really
how does
a pinned down
wish

or one caught
in a jar
learn to
fulfill

and
justify
the reason
for its being
