 102. Bucket List
(Inspired by Jennifer B.)

We all have one.
Some are chosen
Others unconsciously so.

I cannot say
What mine
Will be tomorrow,
Nor what it was
Years ago.

I can only
Speak for
This moment,
And poorly
Capture
Fleeting thoughts.

I had the sands
Of Pele taken
From the shores
Of Hawaii,
With the promise
I myself
Would return
Them to her.

When I was a
Child,
I had a vision
Of a tributary
Off of a tributary
Of the Amazon
And flew
Over the treetops
To the place
Of my first story…
And someday
I will go there.

I will write
The worlds
Of my visions…
Amazonia.
Earthlings.
Illandria.

I will travel
To many places
Around the world
And unite
My humanity
So that
When aliens
Drop out
Of the sky,
We can say,
We are One.
We are Earthlings.
We are Gaians.
We are
For now,
Human,
Though such a thing
Will happen
After I have
Shed this
Fleshy form,
The seeds
I sow
In this life
Will help
It become
So.

I will see
Australia,
New Zealand ,
China,
Japan…
Everywhere else
Is a bonus.

I will live
To be a dirty
Old woman.

Oh wait.
I'm there already!
Ok,
So I will continue
To be a
Dirty Old Woman!
(who says the guys
get all the fun!?)

I want to be
A featured
Chalk artist
A madinari
In the streets
Of Europe,
Of Italy!

I want to be
The first poet
Laureate
Of Earth.

I want to see
From space
With my human eyes
What I have seen
In my dreams.

I want to be friends
Real and genuine
With Angelina Jolie.

I want to change
Our education system,
From the outside in,
So that it is tailored
To the individual
So that each size
Fits who
It is
For.

I want to be
Bigger than even
Oprah
Dared to dream.

I want to write
And produce
My own
Pagan play.

I want to make
“My All Is One”
Gardens,
Around the world.

I want to go
On a cruise
With my Beloved.

I want to go to
Lego World/Land!

I want a home
With secret
Passageways,
Rooms, &
Tunnels,
Oh my!

I want to leave
This world
On my own terms.

I want there
To be the biggest
Bestest dang
Party you have
Ever seen
For my funeral!
Love making,
Movies,
Food!
T-shirts!
A Party
Live music!
Around the world!
And the money
Will go to
Making the world
A better place…

A good way
To end the list!
