Title Still In The Works (IDEAS???)

A Poem by James O'Rourke
"

You can't always get what you want

"

I want things

I want to want things

Wanting to want things is something

I want


I want to be rich

In garbage and build a mountain

Of garbage-like things

To proclaim my kingship over the undesirable


I want to fly just to be set aflame

To make funny faces at birds

And mock them as I rise higher

To lick the sun as my wing disintegrate


I want the world's oceans in my belly

So that I may capture those underwater creatures

And put them in various swimming pools stacked

Upon each other in my backyard


I want the ability to defy gravity

So that I may stand upright on my ceiling

And call gravity to its mistake

That it had been working in the wrong direction all along


I want a leash to tie around my head

So I may take my mind for a walk

And tell it to heel

If it starts getting out of hand


I want a couch to fall hopelessly in love with me

It would cradle my body

In its strong arms and caress my body hair

Causing me to giggle softly into the cracks between its cushions
