just smile and wave.

i wish i could lie on my nonexistent driveway like the Vitruvian Man and wait for the world to descend upon me. i would confidently take on one sky at a time on my tense shoulders because nothing can indefinitely beat the current weight that drags my every bodily movement down. my hands would remain outstretched for that one twinkling star above my head, and i would cover the star with my right hand and grasp the empty air in silent hope that i would someday reach it. i would lie limp with the corners of my mouth pointed south, and oh how i wish i could change my directions. my path. myself.
then i would hope the earth would be my soaking ground, and maybe my contained love will diffuse through the pavement and into the earthly roots of a backyard of someone who is able to return the same favor. instead, i know i would only slap the emotionless hot pavement to receive an empty, hollow response and a pained hand.
i wish i could drive to a place that my navigation system claims to not exist. i would wave at the passing trees and smile with a glowing warmth that is sincere to every downright vein in my pathetic body.
i wish i could be catapulted from this very pavement and into another dimension that holds every person's feelings as precious gems. then maybe they can truly shine and glimmer at their finest values ..
