You are here
I’d rather be a handful of ashes
than a truckload of dust.
I’d rather be unknown
Than be a big bronze bust.
I’d rather be a blazing comet
Than a chilly moon.
I’d rather be a mountain lake
Than a city lagoon.
I’d rather be summer shower
Than a mighty monsoon.
I’d rather be too late
Than too soon.
I’d rather be a spermatozoon
Than a spittoon.
I’d rather be a knife
Than a spoon.
I’d rather be a sleep
Than a swoon.
But of all the things I’d rather be
I’d rather be with you.
