I've always wanted to be a mermaid
or a ballerina
or a goddess
the kind in long, flowing gowns
with long, flowing hair
and long, flowing arms stretched in benevolence.
I've always wanted to drife down from Helicon
on Iris' footsteps
and dance in halls of white marble
and gossamer drapes
surrounded by blue sky and clouds.
But I'm too quirky for such nonsense.
