If I had a billion dollars
not a piddly million,
I would buy myself
a ticket to your concert,
and blast back to the past
of 1999
dance dirty feet
in the grass
to one my favorite songs:
‘If had a Million
Dollars’
to The Bare Naked Ladies
in a long wraparound
silk skirt, hair down,
and smiling like a fool
If had a billion dollars
I'd buy myself
a thick slice peace of mind
and a thinner cut of blueberry pie
alamode
If I had a billion dollars
I would buy bright green
running sneakers,
kick back and sprint!
to the year that I decided
that I would keep you around
longer than the day
the pumpkins were ripe
for picking
our dog, Mama,
was still alive
and the air was full
of cinnamon
and spiced possibility
A billion dollars
and a time machine
could make it happen!
If I had a billion dollars
"I'd buy your love!"
