this is a continuing process as is life, my list will continue to grow.
- Come over to my house and sit with me. and when the sun starts to leave, we'll go out on my porch. I'll light the lights and you can slip one of your indie rock compact disc's in my car stereo (leave the door open, turn it up loud). We can find a seat on the ground, spread the papers wide and pour the red and green and purple. And we can begin to finger paint. It won't matter if you can't make out what I illustrate, as long as you promise not to be angry if I spill a little yellow on your blue jeans
- Let's go fishing. We'll take a little rowboat somewhere close by the shore. You cast out on the right and I on the left, and we will wait for a bite. We don't need to talk, let's just enjoy each other and we can let the sun do all the conversing as we wait for a catch. And if the fish don't seem to have an appetite, that's okay, we will float along. But if they do, we'll have some good eating tonight.
- You and me, Let's go on a road trip, a road trip to absolutely nowhere. You'll pretend to be a high class gentleman and open the door for me, as I slide into your hot car, seats burning, air conditioning still racing to lower the temperature. Buckle-click, buckle-click. Rev the engine baby, let's roll. Let me play DJ and I'll let you be the pilot! Take me anywhere, I promise I'll love it. You keep your eyes on the cars passing and directions turning, and I'll keep my eyes on the little white lines passing and the landscape turning. Your car doesn't have power windows, but that's okay, the world is just a handle rolled away: let the wind embrace every solitary hair follicle in an inciting tango and we'll chase the world together.
- Take me to the zoo. me and you. Pick a day where the sun is kind and the gentle breeze allows for me to bring a thin button up sweater. We'll look at the lions and tigers and bears. and I'll try not to feed the crocodiles as long as you promise to hold my hand when we go see the reptiles. I don't want us to become like the elephants enclosed by fencing, or the hippopotamuses behind the glass. Let's be the peacocks. We'll laugh at the thought of captivity, we have the whole park to wander. Let's not live in a box. We'll go on an adventure and barely escape danger with your conveniently clever disguise of a hundred little eyes. it's alright that your feathers are brighter than mine, but i hope my plain brown coat will do.
