What If What Is?

"What If What Is?"



If I dreamed Saturday was Sunday?
Wednesday and Friday knew for sure.
If black thought pink was mellow, would this be bullying?
What does green do?
What do the other colors think?
What would they think if they were you?
If we are all invisible in the eyes of God?
If it rained and snowed in different colors?
If a store has a back door.
Does it's ceilings have doors too?
Do the walls have doors coming out of them?
Do the floors have doors?
Is there a place where a run-on street never ends?
Graffiti-covered sidewalks with different colored patterns painted on them.
A town with multicolored buildings from hazel to azure?
Do people wear their pants inside-out?
Outside-in?
Upside-down?
Shirts for pants?
Pants for shirts.
Shaving cream as toothpaste?
Toothpaste that's shaving cream?
Is there a bird's buzz and bees that sing.
Cars yelling and people that honk at each other.
What if the paintings in the museums were facing the walls?
We sat upside down on seats?
Ate from the table sideways?
If you sat on your head and walked on your hands?
If your shoe heels were made of lead?
If the world was made out of bubblegum?
If you breathed in air and ate from dirt.
If mice were yellow and indigo.
If your eyes were violet tulips?
Silver or gold?
If we woke up at night and slept at work?
If butterflies run on moon power and are scarlet?
If coffee beans are edible?
If water turns into tea?
If peppermint lifesavers are in an herbal sea of tea.
