If I were the Sun...

If I were the Sun...

I'd be a confused recluse

living in open solitude

93 million miles away from everyone.
 

If I were the Sun...
I'd combust all poetries but one, mine

and create a shrine to the divine

temperature, Fahrenheit 451.
 

If I were the Sun...
I'd shrink to the size of a coin and

lie on the pavement, shimmering and

golden, scolding swindled fingers.
 

If I were the Sun...
I'd be a 24-7 voyeur, simmering on the brink.

Pent-up with white-hot rage and unspent

spermatozoa.
 

If I were the Sun...
I'd be a flamboyant superstar. A bleached

smile, radiating mythical status, addicted

to crack cocaine.

If I were the Sun...
 
As it is, I lurk in libraries, browsing

dictionaries & thesauruses, looking up

alternative words for 'light' & 'heat'.
