to be an artist
demands a liberation
few can ever master
a freedom of the transmission
that destroy the djinn
that grants three wishes
i wonder what my third
would be? my first is simple - it is to my children
to live in this world as part of this world - no fears, no hate, all love
riches to help the world and keep them safe, alive
to the beauty of art - accepted and in peace
a long wish indeed but with a djinn
- a wish must either be simple
or skilled in the telling - that is a simple
wish made in love
the second - now that is a hard one because for those who we love
we can only wish love and a mother has little choice but to love
so the second must be thought out - a rich and generous lover? perhaps
- riches? how much? endless margaritas at the beach and a well charged phone? is
that enough? cats?? enough for a musical perhaps - with a speaking part?
the second would deal with existence - perhaps knowledge
so i can understand equations and math and physics - all in all to improve
my poetry. perhaps it will be my poetry - to be a grand old poet
but if i wish it then is it real? is it art? if i wish it - still my second
wish would deal with existence, a livelihood to ease the third part
of my life.
and so for the third? what would my third wish reach for - it can't be
never ending existence - that is part of the rules - and all in all who
would ever want such frivolousness - to see those you love pass away
countless and countless of deaths. it would make good poetry but a bad
life - the third wish is the hardest - perhaps that is why cats only have 9
lives - a tenth would be too much
