Want / Need

poem circa 2023 (undeleted)

I don’t want a G6

I want a Warthog

I don’t want a G Wagon

I want to experience G force

I don’t want a tattoo

I want an oath

I don’t want a diamond

I want a pebble

I don’t want to be on a list

I want to make a grocery list

I don’t want fame

I want wild flowers

I don’t want a bouquet of red roses

I want to walk through a rose bush

Legs scathed softly by thorns

blood drops trickling down to my toes

I don’t want to be the next Julia Fox

I want a pet fox and I will name it Julia

I don’t want to go out on Sunset

I need to go watch the sunset

I don’t want to be royalty

I want Dairy Queen

I don’t want to laugh lightly I want to cry laughing

I don’t want Chanel

I need to sail the channel

I don’t want Burberry

I want to pick blueberries

I don’t want clout

I want to sit on a cloud

I don’t want first class

I want to be a stowaway

I don’t want presents under the tree

I want your presence next to me

In the trees

I don’t want to arrive in a black car

I want to drain the black from my heart

And I want a Blackhawk
