Wouldn't it be fun to walk on the ceiling?
Having a sort of weightless feeling.
Upside down, striding, lighter than air,
With gravity making a mess of your hair.
Wouldn't it be neat to walk on the walls?
Ignoring the reason for gravity's laws.
Denying all construct of reality's rules,
Running around sideways like bumbling fools
Wouldn't it be cool to swing from the lights?
Leaping and flying like squirrels in the night .
Shouting in air vents, the loudest shout wins,
And swiping fun ball caps
And headbands and pins
Oh, I imagine what it would be like
To walk in weird places of tremendous height.
But such daydreams aren't real, oh, alas
Such extreme wishes never come to pass.
