What?

(Painting by Alice Campbell)

What?

By Steve

What would you be if you could?

Reincarnation is a sweet mystery

Whether you believe or not

What might be, could be!

An Orca, a dolphin?

Dog, cat, or even a lizard

I would say no to a plant

Or even an ant

A cow may be too passive

For some

For others

The perfect form

What would you be if you could?

Knowing my luck

I would come back as myself

With no memory of my past life

(Alternate ending)

What would you be if you could?

Knowing my luck

I would come back as myself

With but a newborn’s knowledge
