I sit in my chair
staring, seeing, spotting
a pool of glistening water
peaceful water
and I imagine.

I imagine running my fingers
through the pool,
watching the ripples fade
as I lift my hand out
and spot my blurry reflection.

I would walk down
to a fountain surrounded 56 columns
and 4,000 stars
I would lie down
while I look up at the stars
and listen
to the drop of water behind me.

I would climb up the steps
counting each one by one
until I reach 98
and I would stand at the top
looking at the empty chair
and staring at the towering obelisk
in the distance.

I would wander
back to my chair and
sit down keeping my left
leg in and my right leg out
and I would open my right hand
and close my left hand
and I would look straight.

I sit in my chair
staring, seeing, spotting
a pool of
glistening water, peaceful water
and I would imagine.
