The Life that could have been
Mornings I eat eggs benedict
my favorite meal
I live in Urban Southern California
kitchen painted Periwinkle
I'm loaded
Kareem Abdul Jabbar my neighbor
let me borrow his can opener
Sitting by the pool
fresh grapes
pina colada
mmmmmmmm
It's time for our family picnic
getting dressed
clothes, socks, shoes
I get into my Mystery Van
I've always liked Scooby Doo
Over the river I see
a herd of Calico cats
fleeing from a train-wreck
on the radio someone is quoting the prophet Muhammad
we eat and play horse shoe
ants take leftovers
we are as big as dinosaurs
Back into my van
enjoying the newly installed brown shag carpet
remember the can of green paint!
remember the project
Get a cup of Joe
starting the safari room
peacock feathers, zebra print, savannah backdrops
the ceiling painted as the sky
Jupiter and her moon Callisto
twinkle brightly
She loves her room
having money and time
is a dream
of the life that could have been.
