 If I were a ferocious panther the first thing I would do; was devour my prey

with unprecedented relish, 
Then sleep in my den in the heart of the jungle cloistered from acrid light; impregnating the atmosphere with my snores. 
 
If I were an inconspicuous mosquito the first thing I would do; was to extract
parsimonious amounts of blood from supple complexioned flesh, 
Then buzz incessantly in vicinity of the eardrum; driving the individual to
the threshold of raw indignation. 
 
If I were a long legged spider the first thing I would do; was to weave my
silken web with the sticky gel in my belly, 
Then patiently wait for innocuous insects to get trapped in; before pulverizing them to succulent pulp. 
 
If I were a handsome grey lizard the first thing I would do; was to stealthily
pounce on my victim; strangulating it with my coherently synchronized teeth, 
Then perching myself in hidden cavities of the tube light; laboriously try and
swallow my sumptuous meal.
 
If I were an indolent cow grazing on the hills the first thing I would do; was
to munch lush green grass protruding from the soil, 
Then spend marathon hours chewing the same; succeeded by an afternoon siesta; 
with the sun shining in my eyes.
 
If I were a preposterously huge elephant wandering through the swampy marshes; 
the first thing I would do; was submerge my trunk in water; evacuating colossal amounts of the solvent, 
Then sprinkling the same with equanimity and brute power; on all animals in
the surrounding.
 
If I were a disdainfully colored cockroach the first thing I would do; was to
swish my tentacles rampantly in exuberance, 
Then cling as tightly as possible to inner seams of the lavatory seat; waiting
for dawn to descend in utter exasperation.
 
If I were a enchanting cuckoo the first thing I would do; was to adroitly flex
vocal chords deep down in my throat, 
Inundating the ambience with melodious music; profoundly enjoying the 
aftermath of the same.
 
If I were a heinous criminal the first thing I would do; was to sabotage prime
property, 
Stripping the overwhelmingly rich of their affluence; philandering all throughout the night under sleazy lights of the blaring discotheque.
 
If I were a normal human being the first thing I would do; was to find the
inevitable love of my life, 
Incarcerate the same for the remaining time till I breathed air; dedicate my
entire time towards protection of her being.
 
And If I were the omniscient Creator the first thing I would do; was to annihilate all poverty and suffering, 
Make sure that all those living continued to live in perpetual contentment; for decades immemorial.

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
