I Want
I want to swing
from the highest limb
and scream,
to all below -
I am
important!
I want to climb
the highest mountain -
jump
from the lowest branch.
I want to feel
my long hair
against my bare back,
to feel summer rain
on my tongue,
and warm earth
in my hand
I want to be
a prima ballerina
sing like a diva
act in one-woman plays
I want to walk slowly,
down main street
naked
ride bare back,
and toss hell out
of the handbasket
I want to paint
my lips red hot
wear wonderbras
and blond wigs
I want to
wear four-inch heels
fish net stockings
and run like
a gazelle
I want to be
faster
than a speeding bullet,
able to leap
tall buildings
in a single bound,
I want to take
the high road,
yell Geronimo
eat potato chips
in my underware
I want to lessen
my load, denounce all
governments
rob from the rich,
announce my own
second-coming
I want to renounce
your sins,
write a sacrament
upon your skin
drown in music,
and float my boat
on your river Nile
it is all about me
me, me, and more me
I want satisfaction,
one love
and world peace
