Shape-Shifting Writers

As a writer
You can be anything your heart desires
take any shape size or form
as you please 
Infinite possibilities of all you can be and do
With paint and a brush you can be Picasso
you can be Shakespeare if you wanted 
even host a Coltrane concert if so wished
You can morph into
a cute little butterfly
a magical sea witch 
a giant whale in the Atlantic
You can tour the universe and time travel
while sitting behind a desk looking out your tiny window
back in time as you survey the future and build castles
You can eat anything in this worldeven that which has not yet made it to Joël Robuchon's menu
You can travel as far as your imagination can take you
You'd be in Paris enjoying a croissant and a Café au lait
from your backyard
Or basking on the sandy beaches in Malibu
from the little concrete city you live in
You can experience 
winter spring summer autumn all seasons 
from a small tropical village on the East of Africa
You can be an angel, a demon, a zombie, a poltergeist
 just choose your calling 
You can walk into the world's greatest ballrooms
waltz and dine
with the grande dames of our time
and banter with charming princes kissing knights and curtseying to queens

As a writer you can be
anything 
anywhere
anytime
