What I didn't do last year
I didn’t open the doors on the planet where the sky lives.
I didn’t visit the moon on its birthday.
I didn’t see the river flow into the ocean of truth.
I didn’t ride the clouds into the star filled sky.
I didn’t run through the infinite moving track field.
I didn’t jump into the dimension that brings hatred.
I didn’t fly into the building with a lost bird.
I didn’t dance through the big moving flower field.
I didn’t turn into the raging monster destoying a city.
I didn’t take a adventure into the Amazon rain forest.
I didn’t watch the floor break leading to a hidden city made of gold.
I didn’t wear expensive clothes to meet the richest man in the world.
I didn’t ride the tree into the forest of darkness.
I didn’t fly through the universe to meet new stars.
I didn’t watch the pond break into the dark cave.

This piece is inspisired by Something I've not done by W.S. Merwin and with the pandemic I didn't do much last year so I named it after what I didn't do last year.
