Blown Away

 

I'm gonna have lunch with

the sky. It's been way too

long since we got together.

I'll run downstairs through

hallways into bursts of blue.

Perhaps never return to work,

words, paper clips, bookshelves.

Who needs cash when there's

so much green grass to hoard?

Forget about food. I’ll drink up

sunshine, nibbling juicy clouds.

O sky, you are my solar mate.

We will be faithful always.

Come home now...I will

never look at another. –

Super Woman

 

I wanna become superwoman

learn portuguese in sixty seconds

end pollution single-handedly

feed rice a roni to the planet

win awards left and right.

I wanna become super woman

paint the Taj Mahal red

knock down bureaucrats by the dozens

create creative pandemonium

flying off the edge of everything.

 

Super woman, yeah, I wanna

become superwoman.
