 when i was born i made a list of my 25 favorite universes when i opened my eyes i made a list of my 25 favorite ceilings  who each made a list of their 25 favorite spiders who each made a list of their 25 favorite flies  who each made a list of their 25 favorite windows outside the window i made a list of my 25 favorite flowers who each made a list of their 25 favorite bees  who each made a list of their 25 favorite skies who each made a list of their 25 favorite clouds who each made a list of their 25 favorite raindrops  who each made a list of their 25 favorite umbrellas who each made a list of their 25 favorite doormen who each made a list of their 25 favorite hotels in their 25 favorite cities in their 25 favorite universes  entering the lobby i asked the desk clerk for my 25 favorite newspapers which i took up to my 25 room suite on the 25th floor  where i read my 25 favorite comic strips and checked the scores of my 25 favorite teams  and the progress of my 25 favorite wars fought by the followers of my 25 favorite gods  who each made a list of their 25 favorite followers but i wasn't on any of their lists  so i cried 25 tears who's your favorite?  |
