What if?
What if lampposts are tall grey flowers?
What if trees are squirrel office towers?
What if cars are elephants with wheels?
What if blackbirds wear suits for business deals?
What if shops are a giant’s food cupboard?
What if twigs are dinosaur bones yet discovered?
What if a door is the mouth of a house?
What if a leaf is the surfboard of a mouse?
What if questions are the reason we exit?
What if? What if? What if?
What if trees are squirrel office towers?
What if cars are elephants with wheels?
What if blackbirds wear suits for business deals?
What if shops are a giant’s food cupboard?
What if twigs are dinosaur bones yet discovered?
What if a door is the mouth of a house?
What if a leaf is the surfboard of a mouse?
What if questions are the reason we exit?
What if? What if? What if?
