I wish I could run off a cliff and keep going, running through the air before the awareness that solid ground has disappeared hits me. I'd be suspended in thin air for a scant few seconds before plummeting into a canyon as I vanish into a cloud of dust.
I wish explosives could go off in my face and leave nothing more than blackened scorch marks and burnt hair which would magically disappear before the next scene.
I wish the soundtrack to my life was the sound of tightly-coiled springs twanging and cymbals clashing.
I wish life was like a Looney Tunes cartoon. I’d let the worst happen, dust myself off, and let Porky Pig wave the audience goodbye.
You do realise, this means war.
I'd like to sprint away at supersonic speed, leaving behind a slowly dissipating me-shaped cloud of white dust.
ReplyDeleteI'd settle for less, of course.
