If I Were

An Original Work / October 4, 2019

If I were a flea
Sitting in a corner
Of your house at night,
What would I see?

Would I see dark?
Or, would I see light?
What changes would I
Sense in light or darkness?

If I were a frog
Sitting on your
window sill at night,
What would I hear?

A mating call to someone
Other than your spouse?
Or, complaints cause someone’s
Getting too close to the truth?

If I were a mouse
Hiding underneath
Your bed at night,
What would I smell?

Would I smell a rat –
A traitor, turncoat,
One who continually betrays
Another’s trust?

If I were God
I would see everything,
Hear everything,
Smell everything.

So, don’t be fooled!
Those who hate the light,
And who embrace the darkness,
Stand condemned already.
