Bucket List

A Poem by Wem Ortiz

Sonnet III 4 years 6 months 21 days left

I want to get lost in a park filled with crowded people
dance around foolishly even without music
I want to watch all movies with or without sequel
take photos save and print then keep it.

I wanted to sky dive and perfectly land in the marked spot.
I want to climb the Eiffel tower
I want to ride the elephant and feed the giraffe
I’ll tour the world, while enjoying the moment every hour.

What I want the most is that I’ll marry and have kids
be a good father and teach them drills
Support them until I drop, even if I sweat or bleed
get the most of it daily, and keep it real.

only to be with you, is the answer to make all of this happen.
only to know that you left me, now it becomes a problem.
