if "you are what you eat" was true i would help myself to a bouquet of sunflowers everyday, because i want to learn how to shine like the street light outside my bedroom window i'd line my stomach with old leonard cohen records so i could sing all my "i love you"'s i would stuff my face with the pages of your favourite book so i could regurgitate the words you love so much whisper them in your ear while you sleep i'd take a bite out of an oak tree cut me in half & count my rings there are so many things i wish i were i am not graceful i'd like to make a toast to every day that i haven't fallen down or slipped or tripped on my words see, i am full of mistakes i never learned how to ride a bike god, my parents really tried but the ground was so unforgiving & i was too afraid of falling now, i would eat those training wheels so i could keep my balance walk in a straight line i'd swallow my watch so i'm always on time don't be surprised if you see me tucking into those sunflowers please, come & bask in my rays.
