I would like to eat a strawberry
at the end of the day
when I have almost had
a headache too long
I would like to look
the way one is supposed to
with wet hair
just out of the shower
(feisty not bedraggled)
I would like to distract people
I sit across from at meetings
shampoo commercial
attention stealing
from a vitally important seminar
on topics all too devastating
I would like to feel my lips
on the cold strawberry
and flush my cheeks
like a fan does hair
and on demand inspire
slow motion movies
I would like at the end of the day
to be that woman
who has her strawberry
and flaunts it too
who feels success
like adrenaline
not like a low percentage vaccination
in a developing nation
I would like to taste the taste
of strawberries
lust simple and true
