DIALOGUE

If I could be anything in the world,
      I would be everything.
If I could think of anything in the world,
      I would think of future failures.
If I could touch anything in the world,
      I would cradle my infant self.
If I could dream of anything in the world,
      I would dream my dreams real.
Now that I am something and I’ve thought, touched, and dreamed,
      I will let it all go
