dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far far away

They say,
What would you like to do
or where would you like to work.
I think, Earth. I'd like to work
on Earth, third in from the sun.
Does the bear say,
I work in this section of the forest.
Does the eagle say.
I work in this part of space.
Does the shark say,
I swim only here.
Does the air work or the wind.
And what kind of work do I want to do?
I say,
I want to eat and sleep and explore
like the bear and the eagle and the shark.
I want to speak like the wind and breathe air
period.
I want to hang a sign on my door.
Do not disturb while I'm at work
dreaming.
