What if I
don't behave?
What if I run
in the streets and say
look — you —
are beautiful
What if I sing
at ocean's edge
calling to the waves
as they call to me
What if I answer
each bird's song
with a song of my own
What if I shout for joy
that I am alive
experiencing earth
here, now, fully
What if I pick up
a handful of soil
and drop it
on my head
yes — you —
the soil that springs up life
What if all
the ways of suppressing
my joy are removed
What if self-criticism
perfectionism and fear
dissolve
What if I dance instead of walk
laugh instead of smile
sing instead of talk?
And what if
I meet you there
how will you
misbehave?
