To be uncontroversial and famous To be a citizen of everywhere and of wherever I am To live to the ripe age of 120 and then live a hundred years more To eat a dozen grapefruit and preserve my enamel To have a hundred friends and soulful conversations daily To have an immortal soul and believe in nothing To know everything and fear nothing To eat once an hour and never buy new pants To have the conveniences and not be watched To be the hero of someone else's dreams and still be a hero to me To bike every day and stay off the hoods of other people's cars To recognize my faults and then fix them To cook with peppers and then touch my eyes To do something stupid and pay no price To have plenty of money and suffer no one's authority To use lots of technology and have free will To eat hot peppers and maintain a discerning palate To have dinner and a clean keyboard To pick only one option and accept the loss of the other To pick only one option and accept a total loss To be writing a poem and choose when to stop
