I like to wonder if the sky could hold me
If it could carry my weight in its arms
And fly away
I like to wonder if the oceans could swallow me
If they could churn me in their blue intestine
And then spit me out
I like to wonder if the grass could cut me
If it could prick my skin till there is nothing
More left to prick
I like to wonder if the ghost in the horror movie
That I just watched would come out of the screen
And avenge itself
I like to wonder if I were breathless before I could breathe
If the air fills my lungs with clean oxygen
Or toxic chemicals
I like to wonder about another way of living
Another dimension to add to our woes
Another slice of life
Sometimes I like to wonder
About death
And death alone

It’s good that your mind is open to wandering down these paths. š Nicely done, Frank!
