in one of those pastel worlds
where everything is white bread,
iceberg lettuce,
45% cotton 55% polyester,
Muzak.
I want to live copper, blue-green, burgundy
satin and sailcloth
the sea at midnight,
the sky at noon.
Don't let me live earthbound
with my eyes on my lawn
or in my neighbor's windows.
I want to soar
sail
splash
like a kite.
Let me frame the sky
and hang it on my wall.
Let me keep the mountains
in a box under my bed.
----
Amen.
