I want all these kids
to leave me alone
and I want your forgiveness in advance

or I do not want it at all.

I want to write a book
but I want significantly more to be known as a writer of books.

I want to never die
but I want more
to never be sick
and I want significantly more still, to never grow old.

Look the day was clear today
and the sunset was easily seen.

Why does no one visit?
I want my friends to visit.

I want to be surrounded
by conversation
and music
but I no longer want to speak.

I want to be born so many times that being born looks like the whole of life
and I want to be sure of the cold.

I want to be rid of the world
and I want to live in the world.
