I want to
catch the moon
and race the stars
stare at the night
and see Osirus
I want to
laugh in my salad
dampen every green
see reality for the myth
that it is
and never regret nor forget
anything
I want to
learn the language of the universe
shake peace's own hand
meet adversity head on
and shout to the world
from every possible land
I want to
wink at debt
and laugh off its
albatross noose
call wealth up on the
line
and say you don't have me
fooled
I want to
see today
with the eyes of tomorrow
huge wonderous and ever bright
hug every moment from every
angle with vigor
and confidence
and watch time ignite
but most of all
I LONG to
be
a me the future
will look back on
with pride and
fond remberence
and hail these
flushed scribblings
as something worth
thinking about
