The Poem With No Name.

If I didn’t have a name,
I’d be taller than a tree.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d join a hive of honeybees.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d go someplace you couldn’t see.
If I didn’t have a name,
All my food would be free.
If I didn’t have a name,
I wouldn’t need a family.
If I didn’t have a name,
Every dog would belong to me.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d drive a car without the keys.
If I didn’t have a name,
I wouldn’t watch so much TV.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d take long walks along the beach.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d only shower once a week.
If I didn’t have a name,
I’d pitch a tent beside the street.
If I didn’t have a name,
All my goals I would complete.

If I didn’t have a name,
Every day would be adventure.
I’d ride birds
Above the mountains
And hide in leaves
With friendly snakes.
My friends
Would be octopuses
And my children
Would be kittens.
My clothes would turn to dirt
And my feet would never hurt.

If I didn’t have a name,
I’d be you,
And I’d be me.
Lost
But also free.
Invisible
And invincible.

If I didn’t have a name,
I’d throw all my things away.
I would walk a hundred miles,
With a rope tied round my knees,
I’d climb a cliff beside the ocean,
And fall into the summer breeze.
