What I'd Do

I want to live my life
Like time’s wings were clipped
And teeth pulled
Flying across seas tasting new spices
Atop Everest looking down on Tibet
Hang gliding bungee jumping rock climbing scuba diving
I would hold time hostage within this little box of light
Let the world feast on reality shows and pixels
While I live it communicating with the angels
But the alarm rings and I soldier on
To these lightless places
Where the days eat away at my flying carpet of hair
And the dentist drills deep into my savings
