Sometimes, I wish to be a poet,

For my words do not flow,

And my voice cannot sing,

But I want to get across

This distance

This vast space that separates us,

These rivers and lakes and states and buildings and border lines

That cannot be crossed in a single step,

More like a single leap,

No, a single dance,

A series of leaps and pirouettes and everything else.

But remember,-

If distance was a person,

She would be a lady,

Missing her manners,

For she's the bitchest of them all.

And if distance was a person,

She'd be dead already, by my own fucking hand.

And if distance was a person,

I would tear her to bits,

Feed her to the dogs,

Because she is but a hindrance,

But a bitch.
