I want to go sightseeing.
I want to swim
and look at the mountains.
I want to drive
down old roads.
I want to sit in a
darkened cinema
and hold your hand
without speaking.
I want to walk
all the city blocks
and take a bus
into chinatown.
I want dusty
old cactus trails
into an ancient
natural beauty.
I want to stand
on top of a hill,
and fly kites.
I want to take the train,
sit with you
and say small words
on our way to a misty,
clouded seaside,
where the sea is green.
I do not want
to do all of this work,
which is pointless.
I do not want to
sit on this sofa,
rotting away in the quiet.
I do not want
the life constructed
for me.
