maybe i do
expect unconditional love
expect to swim and play recurrently
and eat cookies
and occasionally clean
maybe i am
a strawberry
blonde mermaid
and so what if i want
someone to care for me
what if maybe,
just maybe,
what if i find
what .i'm .seeking...

maybe i seek
dependence.
and at the same time demand IN-dependence!
oh, what if the piano plays
me?
maybe i don't know
maybe we're not meant to
maybe we're just not meant to be
and maybe i simply know nothing
but childhood...
maybe my hair billows...
in the subtle currents
and maybe my fins
are iridescent green...
and maybe
way out there, maybe - i'll find
the sea king.
