I want to pluck poetry from the humid air,
from the invisible radiowaves around me
and translate it into the language of
black ink on white paper.
I want to distill the essence of dreams
and recrystallise it into poetry
so sweet it melts in my mouth.
I want to bait my line with emotions
and swing it out hoping to get a bite
and reel in poetry from the still green ponds.
I want to retrieve poetry from the soft fluff
curled up inside children's pillows,
drenched in their magic stories,
hallowed by their smiles.
I want to worship the Sun-god
in an elaborate naked pagan ceremony
and channel his warmth into soft sunlit poetry.
I want to receive messages from vast alien intellects
and take them down on a battered rusty typewriter
so I can distribute photocopies to the masses
for them to marvel at, and call poetry.
