If I had five minutes with the president of the united states
I would ask please more mornings like these
I would ask for a swath of orange-pink paintbrush
Over cliche pale blue skies
I would ask for ante meridiem with a bite to the breeze
that nip-nips a notion of sunshine across my earlobe
If I had five minutes with the president of the united states
I would ask please keep my father's teeth from falling out
So that we can sit and eat hot dogs together
I would ask for an end to time
I would ask for eternal graciousness in all humankind
so that it pop-pop percolates from one to two to all
If I had five minutes with the president of the united states
I would ask please fire patience through your lithe limbs into souls
Like lightning into kite and key; I would ask
Charge to the helm oh captain
I would ask for a tidal wave that will wash troubles down
and rejuvenate this hip hip far too hip and recumbent world
