Maybe I’ll buy myself a pair of yellow boots and a purple hat

Carry a bouquet of daffodils everywhere I go

Smile at strangers and wave at their dogs

Talk to stray cats, sparrows, and trees

Maybe I’ll wear long black dresses and carry a small notebook

Writing a poem on each bench I find

Then ripping out the ink-covered pages and hiding them in rose bushes

Or leaving it for the wind to decide who needs to read those words

Maybe I’ll put on jeans and a hoodie

Wear hiking boots and stock my backpack

Lose my phone and head into the wilderness

To listen to silence

To hide and escape

To find myself

Or maybe I’ll buy boxes of chocolates and dozens of roses

Get a pair of pink sunglasses

And go out on a rainy day

Treating strangers to a flower, a sweet, and a smile

Or maybe I’ll do none of that

I’ll write a silly poem instead

Imagining how I could make this world a little bit better
