If I were to write something right now
I’d write about the sky and how it’s not the limit
I’d think about released balloons
and their final destinations

I’d color it white.

If I were to write something right now
I’d write about the ocean and it’s ironic inability to quench your thirst
I’d think about the snorkelers
and the depth of their venue

I’d warn them of sharks.

If I were to write something right now
I’d pull out my favorite pen
and pray…

that my ears don’t pop
and the temperature doesn’t drop

but that’s only
If I were to write.
