I want to be a mermaid
weightless, graceful, doing somersaults
in a blue, Caribbean sea
No heavy footed huff and puff, no tripping over my feet.

I want to be an orangutan
Surveying this land I own
breaking through durian fruits, pondering, planning
calmly navigating this lush jungle maze... maybe with an infant on my back!

I want to be forever well
never with flu, migraine or broken bone
I want to taste a raw chicken thigh
to sample all number of liquor I like
and never will I be sick

If a genie gave me three wishes this is what I'd pick.
