Let me spread my wings

and grab me a beer

let me float away
into the open sky
without a thought or clue

shake it up
you need your revenge
always have

let me sink back down
and float as a feather
on the ocean
breaking waves and rain

wait for my response
wait for my face to flutter
and my hands to slip

let me be a seagull
and drown out to sea
sinking slowly
till my head touches
the sand underneath

you got just what you wanted
all that you expected
and a little more

let me rest
finally, no time to stay afloat
no time to be adrift
all I want to do is fall asleep
with the gentle pulse
of the waves a hundred yards above

as I shed a tear
you got what you wanted.
