Sometimes I steal stuff from myself

I wish I was a poet

I wish my words could flow

Like cherry Kool-Aid

On the kitchen floor

I wish I could create complex images

Like a child

Coloring on her bedroom door

I wish I knew a troubled life

The turmoil of gum

Tangled in my hair

I wish I could crawl inside

A Popsicle

It is eternal summer there

I wish puddles were poetry

Jump in

And splash around

I wish I could rhyme

With the sound of chalk

Scraping across the ground
