I could jump on a plane
By myself
And fly
Across the pond.
If I really wanted to.
I would wander
Around Picadilly Circus
And read
Every single billboard.
If I really wanted to.
I would hitch a ride
On a bright red double-decker
And wave
To the Queen in her palace.
If I really wanted to.
I would attend
A changing of the guard
And tickle
A sentry’s nose to make him smile.
If I really wanted to.
I would tour
Madame Tussaud’s
And pose
With aristocracy and celebrities.
If I really wanted to.
I would stroll
Through Hyde Park
And sit
Inside the upside down tree.
If I really wanted to.
I could stay home
Curled up on my couch
And imagine
The different me
Brave enough to do all of those things.
If I really wanted to.
