Maybe We Could, We Can

What if I could pick up a field of grass and wrap it around myself,

Maybe I flip a switch and turn night to day, or day to night depending on what we needed

Maybe I could find you a pair of glasses that changed the world to black and white and you could see the world the way you read your books

We could sit in the shower and allow the walls to collapse and the world to flood with water, we could dance like sea horses and eat coral for dinner

We could drain the world of all the bugs we fear and make the rain look like confetti

We could take the train over the mountains and into the sky

I could pick up the brightest star and wrap it around your finger to always have, no matter how dull the day

The sunrise peeping into our room, to see us screaming into each other’s mouths, the orgasmic hugs that guide us to finally close our eyes, sleeping in separate beds sandwiched together

We could cuddle in our dreams the way you like and I could learn touch in a way that didn’t hurt

Share my headphones and listen to each others thoughts

Drink up the sunshine like milkshakes at our favorite diner

Sip tea that felt like the warm sun from the beach on our skin

Climb a tree and become the tallest people in the world, swinging off to fly into the city sky line

You could crawl into my mind and l could show you the world I live in
