Some Things I’m Not Allowed To Do

Dance on top of the piano
blindfolded wearing clown shoes
Dance on top of the railing wearing cowboy shoes
blindfolded without holding on
Dance on the roof on top of my baby tricycle
blindfolded on one foot with the other foot in the air
while making dinner in high heels
Go to school wearing high heels
Climb on Sean, Shelley and Bailey wearing high heels
Climb on the book shelves while an earthquake is happening
and the buildings are all falling down and collapsing
and you just just cling to the wall while all the books fall
Eat a book with peanut butter and jelly
while watching The Good Place
Sleep on the ceiling
Touch 120000 old LPs while winning the World Cup
with a bicycle kick across the field into the goal 16 times
Draw a Stanton record player while being dead
Go to Miami to huddle on the beach with 1000 friends
for 16 years while coronavirus is spreading
Barf on a pizza (I actually once did that for real when I was a baby)
Get my ears pierced while I go to the store
and buy tortilla chips in the shape of thin air while the store is contaminated and the store contaminates the food,
the food contaminates the people, the people contaminate the world,
the world contaminates the galaxy,
the galaxy contaminates another galaxy, etc etc.
Eat a contaminated sugar bomb 1000 times
I’m not allowed to write a poem about things
I’m not allowed to do anymore
(But I will)
