Why Not?
May 31, 2009
Life’s a goblet.
Why not drink?
Life’s the ocean.
Why not surf?
Life’s a cliff.
Why not imagine the utter freedom of the fall?
Life’s a couch.
Why not sit?
Life’s a microphone.
Why not pick it up and sing?
Life’s a pen.
Why not write?
Life’s a computer.
Why not click the mouse?
Life’s a camera.
Why not snap a picture?
Life’s the catchy tune in the club.
Why not dance?
Life’s a journey.
Why not buckle up and get ready for the ride?
It’s going to take you along,
Anyway.

Thanks, His-Bright-Green-Eyes! I just thought of random, ordinary things to use as metaphors, really.

Sara, thanks so much for your comment! The metaphors I just got looking around my room. I'm really glad that my poem has had a pretty big effect on you. That's the message I wanted to convey, and I'm happy to hear that I conveyed it!
