Read this in your head...
Last night, while I lay thinking here
,
some
Whatifs
crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and
sang their same old
Whatif
song:
Whatif
I'm dumb in school?
Whatif
they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif
I get beat up?
Whatif
there's poison in my cup?
Whatif
I start to cry?
Whatif
I get sick and die?
Whatif
I flunk that test?
Whatif
green hair grows on
my chest
?
Whatif
nobody likes me?
Whatif
a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif
I don't grow
talle
?
Whatif
my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif
the fish won't bite?
Whatif
the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif
they start a war?
Whatif
my parents get divorced?
Whatif
the bus is late?
Whatif
my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif
I tear my pants?
Whatif
I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime
Whatifs
strike again!
