IF ALL CLOUDS WERE EARTH
by Zaro Weil
if all clouds were earth
and all earth were skies
and all skies were suns
and all suns were stars
and all stars were rivers
and all rivers were rocks
and all rocks were fish
and all fish were mountains
and all mountains were birds
and all birds were trees
and all trees were people
and all people were flowers
then if I picked one flower
I'd hold absolutely everything
in my hand
