absurdities

light pink volkswagen bugs,
human hair made into rugs,
instead of a jack, a charlie-in-the-box,
a life falling short from chickenpox,
finger nails that stretch a mile,
becoming friends with a crocodile,
making soup from afterbirth,
the fear of falling off the earth,
believing in santa until you are fifty,
thinking your president isn't shifty,
spraying a toothless dog with mace,
an attempt to bungee jump in space,
running a marathon without perspiring,
working for life and never retiring,
wishing you had what should not be,
wanting and trying to be like me.
