love fantasy

yesterday i was sitting on a park bench
sipping lemonade wishing i could have been
born a man
then thinking about the hairy balls
and wishing i could have been
born a man without balls
and then deciding, no, better
to be born a chameleon with twisty eyes
perched on some rainforest vine
watching a toucan preen
or no, better to be born moon-dirt
white dust on a static face
or no, better to be born a clown
with a permanent honk-squeeze nose
or best of all to be born
a ball-less man with twisty eyes and a honk-squeeze nose
and i'd never smile or cry, i'd just
twist my eyes around, seeing everything in all directions
sometimes squeezing my nose for a comic honk 
but never moving from my park bench until i met my true love
who would probably be
ordinary.
