If life were a person
she'd be very busy
but wouldn’t make it weigh upon us
she’d never bore us.
She could sit
in front of a bowl of pistachios
without eating them up.
She’d smoke as much as she pleases
one-three cigarettes per day
or not at all.
She’d really get drunk
sometimes
but not necessarily on weekends.
She’d keep a bottle of champagne
in her home bar
and a bunch of white tulips
on the living room’s table
just in case
there’s something to celebrate.
Her favorite sport?
Arm-wrestling.
She's not the best at it
she doesn't have to.
She’d hedge her bets
when gambling at the casino.
She’d never say goodbye
but see you later.
Thing is, she’s been around for 3.5 billion years.
So it goes without saying,
life knows better.
