Lily ArielPlease god, don't let me get trapped in one of those pastel worlds where everything is white bread, iceberg lettuce, 45% cotton 55% polyester, Muzak. I want to live copper, blue-green, burgundy satin and sailcloth the sea at midnight, the sky at noon. Don't let me live earthbound with my eyes on my lawn or in my neighbor's windows. I want to soar sail splash like a kite. Let me frame the sky and hang it on my wall. Let me keep the mountains in a box under my bed. --Sara Booth |
