Things that I want:
A List
- I want to care more about what is real than that which is not real.
- I want to visit Cape Town and Venice and Bora Bora in one day and be home to sleep in my own bed at night.
- I changed my mind. I want to stay in each of those places for a year, or ten, at least.
- I want to learn speak every language and learn every culture’s dance.
- I want to make dinner together-a daring, ethnic recipe that will probably fail but turn out better than we expected.
- I want to know the difference between what is real and what is not.
- And then I want to forget.
- I want to learn to play the cello.
- No wait, I want you to learn to play the cello for me and I will sing with you.
- I want to sing much better than I can.
- I want you to be real.
- I want for us to write stories about each other and I then I want us to make them come true.
- I want to escape.
- I want to drive all night without getting sleepy.
- I want to meet you in the middle.
- I want to meet you in a city where neither of us lives
- I want to be better at writing.
- I want the things that I hope to be true and not the things that I believe.
- I want for us to trade lives for a while, and then I want for you to escape mine and come join me in yours for a while longer.
- I want to be in pictures with you.
- I want to be younger than I am, and much much older.
- I want to buy a vineyard.
- I want to own a flock of goats - the kind that fall over when they are startled.
- I want to spend all day, every day of my life scaring my goats. Wake up. Make coffee. Scare my goats.
- I want my goat farm to be in Cuba where I will live when I am a very old woman. I will smoke cigars and every night I will go dancing with young, attractive Cuban men.
- I want to meet you at the beach at sunrise and spend the day hunting for sea glass without ever speaking a word to each other.
- I want to be more than a peripheral character in your story.
- I want to be more than a peripheral character in my story.
- I want to sleep now.
Good night.
