If I could be a substance
a something instead of
theoretical
I would be that .
If I could be a natural element, something
basic instead of
cluttered, well
I would be crazy not to be so
Anything, but irritatingly human
fallible and nonsensical
I would be that,
and
proud to be so
If I could be anything
I would be water, and
I would be wild about it
Many thanks to Scout Finch, who is understanding.
