I cannot wait until I’m young enough To go to 9 different stores To buy 12 different items Don’t get me wrong- I revel in my old age But what if time weren’t so precious to me And I savored every moment Every bite Every penny, had the time to cut coupons, Dress comfortably, Sit on benches in the park and let the sun happen on my skin Feed things that don’t belong to me like they do
To wish for the sweetness of humdrum activities Have a pair of perfect slippers by my bed that have already formed to my toes Be apart of someone else’s routine Wake up at 7 in the morning to get ready For nothing and everything all at once (growing old enough to be young) I want to tell stories to others With the conviction that what I’m saying is of worth And will positively impact the way they see the world.
I want to spread beauty like the plague Cough it out onto all my friends Spew it Bake it into every second, chew it- Spew it out again (Understand the word legacy out of the context of movie titles) I want to walk away from conversations that bore me And not feel any remorse
I want to form vowels and consonants A N D Let them become something so much bigger
