I want to ***** a monument for extensionality,
and hand out pamphlets about revolutionary love
on the corner of the street.
I want to prescribe laughter and meditation
as cure-all medicine,
whisper thank-yous to the sun
and dance with the trees waving at me.
I want to hug sunflower giants,
remind the river of the power in her peaceful energy,
and tell her I like the way she's molded the clay bed beneath my feet.
I want to dissolve through dew-soaked grass
into the endless layers of earth below me.
I want to be broken apart, fossilized,
and pressed into crystalline form by the heat & heaviness of the universe.
I want to evaporate and rain onto a rolling hill,
form a stream of consciousness that feeds a babbling brook,
and giggle at tadpoles just finding their feet.
I want to caress cliff-sides
and press my toes up to greet mountain peaks.
I want to wiggle my soul alongside the jellyfish in the open sea
floating though golden sunbeams,
ascending current of galactic daydreams
bubbling up to the break surface,
gasping salty air into hungry lungs flushed with new purpose.
