if i could be anything in the world...


Maybe a brass doorknob learning the twists in people's lives by the swirls on their skin
or maybe the knocker resting above, watching people beg to be let in.
I could be a cloud, resting in the sky
Or better yet, a bright red bird, daring the clouds to fly this high
doors? clouds? birds!? why would you want that?
wouldn't you want to be noticed?
not in the remotest. i would want to be someting only avhievable with massive amounts of caffeine
something like a dance or a sense of humor or that feeling you get after you put on sunscreen
i could be the teen queen of a tangerine submarine in the brightest blueish-green, hunting for sardines!!
i could watch from my sunmarine as the people played on their trampolines
and throw tangerines at the men discovering the slot-machines
And then on Halloween, i would stroll onto their elite putting green dressed as an olive bean and teach them how to play the tambourine.
