Alphabet Soup

I wanna swim in a bath of words
like alphabet soup
Dive down and gulp open with
pronouns and syntax abounding

I wanna pull and prod and tear and create
I wanna surround myself with beauty and mystique
and creativity

I want time and empty days
to fill up my life with
I wanna chuck in the towel that mops and wipes up
sweat and toil and boredom

I wanna be light on my feet
I want a smile to play across my lips
I want a secret that only I know
but others yearn for

I want the itch and burn and yes and no
and depressing inevitability of it all
to just go away, just go away

I wanna be a writer!
