How about possibilities (Summer poem #3)

I need to work on my time management skills because this poem is long overdue but I feel like it's the best poem I've written so far - I hope you folks enjoy it!!! 

A season like this bring changes,

enjoyment,

more anticipation than you can imagine

for someone like me

so I take advantage:

might go canoeing or hit a late night pool party,

invite a few friends over

to storm my dad’s cellar and pantry,

may rent out a gym or stadium even

or I might take it easy

watch a fantasy or write some poetry,

either way anything is possible really.

How about a holiday?

You wanna come with me?

We could hit the Caribbean, Asia or Paris,

try out some of their fine dishes.

We could stop in Rome, go see the Colosseum,

one or two galleries and the Pantheon.

We could touch down in Spain,

watch the amazement that surrounds

the lights illuminating the magic fountain.

Switzerland, Russia, Italy, Turkey, Ukraine…

How about the UK?

Scotland? Wales?

Ireland – Fermanagh sounds great.

We could hijack a plane

take pleasure in terrorizing hostages –

nah, that one you can go ahead, do without me.

No seriously, this is the time for greatness,

let’s do something life-changing,

something epic,

something that will leave history’s jaws dropping;

I suggest we go get Jackie,

try to travel around the world in 79 days,

stop by the shoot of Rush Hour three

to tell Chris to do a dumb pose – Cheese!

Why your eyes wide?

Why you laughing?

I ain’t even gotten started.

Road trip - 50 states sound interesting,

we gotta stop somewhere that has a subway,

get some cookies

my sister loves those little things.

Aah, let’s invent something

or maybe we can go back in history,

ask Cleopatra where she hid her Jewelry

then return and eBay it!

Then go on a quest for a few more relics.

We could become members of a royal family

better yet abolish slavery completely,

bear witness to MLK’s speech

or Mary Anning’s legendary discovery,

we could film what really led to their extinction

now wouldn’t that be a remarkable revelation.

Could see if mutants really existed

and witness how sweet their powers really tasted,

ride on the back of a dragon

or see how the world really began,

live like a caveman

or watch something a witch concoct,

then copy it perhaps.

Go to Greece and witness the first Olympics

or just fight alongside Hercules.

We could observe the bravery of bestiarii

then make up for it

by returning to the BCE era

meditate with Buddha,

or help out with some freedom movements

by assisting a few legends,

Mrs. Tubman, Lincoln, Moses and Gandhi,

take Newton’s ear and whisper gravity,

take part in one of Shakespeare’s famous scenes,

before returning to create our modern rifacimento

or join Miss Lisa to be a masterpiece of The Great Leonardo.

We could drug Moore,

slip under his gear

and drop that touchdown he made in the 60’s,

sneak in the locker room

and steal Johnny U’s jersey. 

Wouldn’t it be great if I pull that stunt on Armstrong,

then I’ll be the first man on the moon,

now that’ll be cool.

What if I did the same to Amelia Earhart?

They’ll never know  a man had anything to do with it,

it will be our little secret.

We could hang with Irwin in his prime

just to tease a few crocodiles.

We could commit lese majeste,

let's think who could be so lucky-

Got it!

Let’s run up on Hitler

and shave his moustache,

put it in a bag then amuse a crowd

by nailing it in a larch.

How about freezing time to get a glimpse of Miss Monroe’s bits,

now that’s just violating

forgive my nasty  mentality,

back to the 21^st century

which reminds me, look who is in the white house,

if you believe possibilities aren't endless

get your brain cells out that bigoted shell.

So, how about it?

You wanna hit the waves out in Cali,

climb Mount Everest

or pester those faces

popping out of Mount Rushmore,

what’s a trip without a few detours.

How about India?

I can see us outside the Taj Mahal.

China? I can hear the wall’s call.

Air ballooning, bungee jumping,

mountain climbing,

Bays of Fires -

you feel like hiking?

We could go skiing

or bike riding

look out at Lake Tahoe

as we kill that Rim trail

then set sail

to a remote place.

We could do a lot more;

You wanna visit the future

return with a cure

for AIDS, cancer, diabetes

or poliomyelitis.

You feel like being imaginative?

Don’t act so tentative,

we could go see if robots will be destructive

or if Aliens would invade our planet,

or whether humanity has any other reasons to worry,

then return with a time machine

to satisfy the voracious appetite

of these scientists.

So, how about it?

Hey you still got time

you decide,

we could just get off Earth

and go chill on the rings of Saturn;

we got seven continents

and god knows how many other planets

waiting.

I’ll be here packing,

let me know if you coming.
