The Seriousness Of It All
If I could fall, without fear--
Drop my body--
I'd fly, if only for a moment--
My heart would flutter--
Mind let go--
If I could jump, without hesitation--
Back into your arms--
I'd catch the first train--
Mingling with the words you left me--
Dancing, you & I-- across the page--
Interstellar sea cruise--
Letting your lights play tricks on my eyes--
In a blurred phantasmal symphony--
Let's pretend we're six years old--
Playing Candy Land and laughing--
Forgetting there's work-- to be done around the house--
Forgetting bank accounts-- and car payments--
I want to play.
