if i were a frog
i'd swim in my pond of imagination
all
day
if i were a dolfin
i'd swim through the words of Emily Dickinson
and lie on the banks of Pablo Neruda
if i were a lion
i'd roar at the cages
of uneducated minds
to not acquiesce their
changeable fates
if i were a person
i'd eat
drink
sleep
breathe poetry until
it was seeping out of
mi pours to the floor
be
neath mi
but if i were something
anything at all
i'd choose to be a poet
to let my lyrics fly
like an eagle just getting her wings
HIGH
