shopping list

I want
a new heart. One that is not stupid,
one only lightly worn without a lot of miles on it.
One with extra logic circuits and digital technology.
I am tired of my analog emotions and desire something more precise.

I want
a new illness. This one bores me.
It's all very tiresome to have something so pedestrian
that yet cannot be fixed with all of medical science's new devices.
I want to trade it in on something newer, more exotic, and more importantly curable.

I want
a new calendar. One that does not roll
over year after year, where grey January is followed by dreary February
and you have to live for April and May.
I want a calendar where the months are named after plants.

I want
a new world. Something tasty, for me to discover
and gnaw on when I'm down to the rind.
A new place, where travel is cheap and nobody is trying to kill me.
I dislike this one right now and am thinking about trading up.

Also, I need milk.
As long as I'm at the store.
