if i were invisible

·J. Maw

If I were invisible, what would I do? I would take off my cape, and give it to you. But since your neck is too long, your back is too short, I'll only use you as my final resort. If I were invisible, who would I be? I'd be anything but good, anyone but me I'd turn the world, a sphere, to sit into a Book, which dimensions fit. If I were invisible, what would I do? though most who are visible still have no clue and in seeing, see nothing, a nebulous task for eyes which in sunshine colorless bask. If I were invisible, who would I be? A man of no color, neither prisoner nor free; my sphere of influence is a ball of string one hour wrapped up, one hour unraveling. If I were invisible, what would I do? I'd construct a false world, and deconstruct true and by creating lies, denounce truth and in destroying death, embrace youth. If I were invisible, who would I be? Immortal, not seen, but all living see There is no wrong, only absence of right - there is no darkness, only absence of light. If I were invisible, what would I do? Displaced, I'd seek me where before I was too. Never finding, only realizing love is blinding, a conceptualizing. If I were invisible, who would I be? I'd stop believing in God, and start believing in me.
