If I Could Change the World

If I could change the world, I’d get rid of alarm clocks, eliminate the endless lines, send mosquitoes packing, and transform Mondays into something gentler. If I could change the world, sunbreaks would brighten up rainy mornings, dogs would wander freely in all the parks, and Wi-Fi would never fail. If I could change the world, there’d be no tears, no vestibules, no “just deal with it” or “you’re being too sensitive”— and traffic would become a thing of the past. If I could change the world, pizza would qualify as a cure, weekends would become five days long, and a laugh that is too loud or sobs in poignant films would be deemed strong enough to make a real impact.
