An anonymous anomaly
That's what I'd like to be
And then when people walked by
Perhaps they'd glance at me
I would be a thing of sheer brilliance
Something quite unknown
Perhaps I'd have the ability
To cause things to be grown
I'd be tall, that's for sure
Resembling a pillar or a tree
Skinny as a string bean
Maybe 6 foot 3
I would be indescribable
My words would fog the mind
I'd major in philosophy
I'd describe the meaning of an orange rind
My skin would be a pale green
And perhaps would be see-through
That way you could see my hearts beat
In flashing colors in every hue
My eyes would be amazing
I'd have three, a sort of triple pack
They would all be brightest blue
And I'd have one for looking back
I would be able to fall in love
At least three separate times
One for each of my flashing hearts
And I would rotate them on a dime
I wouldn't be immortal
But I would live for extra long
I'd spend the later of my days
Shrouded in tea leaves and bathed in song
I would have a child
She would be an anomaly as well
But not as peaceful as me
The daughter of heaven and hell
And I would name her Jevali
She would have two wings
Sprouting from her back
One shrouded in ivory feathers
The other leathery and midnight black
I would have wings, of course
But they would be like a bird's
Long and bronze and capable
Of shielding the written words
So that we may never forget them
I would be quite calm
My brain would be half water
I would be able to make peace with all
To end the needless death and slaughter
I would speak
In the tongue of the great fish
And if you held on to my hand
I'd let you make a wish
And it would happen
I promise
Though I'm not an anonymous anomaly
Or at least I don't look like one
My brain remains half water
And I feel an attachment to the sun
Yes I am no anomaly
But I still think I can do good
And if you ever come looking for me
I'm the one living like an anomaly would
