I Want

Some sort of magnet. 
Some sort of bushel. 
Some sort of worthless old coin. 
Some sort of balloon. 
Some sort of pickle I could be in. 
Some sort of medicine.

I have a lightning busting, cannonball feeling. 
Just like crossing the street to howl again. 
Some sort of grave yard. 
Could my gravestone already exist, just not engraved yet?

I want…

Some sort of cookie, grass clippings, garage door opener…

Ouch
