I
Want to Live
I WANT TO LIVE. I WANT TO EXPERIENCE LIFE. I WANT TO CELEBRATE LIFE.
I WANT TO CELEBRATE BEING A THINKING FEELING WOMAN.
I
want to raise the blinds at home and let in light. I want to turn the
radio volume up all the way. I want to turn the radio on. I want to
vacuum the floors at 11 PM if I feel like it. I want to feel my lover’s
teeth on my nipples. I want to be pushed up against a wall and kissed…hard.
I want my hair brushed. I want to dance in the living room naked. I
want to make love anywhere but the bed. I want to drive all the way
home with the gas light on without being chastised when all I wanted
was to feel the adrenaline rush of "will I" or "won’t
I" make it home without being stranded. I have to get my jollies
somehow. I want to hear a string of optimisms instead of a string of
cynicisms. I want to be taken. I want to eat ice cream for dinner. I
want to hold a baby without instilling fear that I’m going to want one.
I want to be groped. I want to be kissed gently, lovingly. I want a
long sensuous love making encounter with lots of touching, caressing,
kissing, talking. I want a good hard fuck. I want to kick the television
screen in. I want to drink tequila shots and dance. I want to empower
every woman on this planet. I want to read erotica aloud to my lover.
I want to finish a champagne candlelight bubble bath with something
other than sleep. I want to be fed chocolate. I want to change the world
and I want to be supported in that and not laughed at. I want to go
out and have a beer with my lover in a crowed bar with loud jazz playing.
I want to go to a play on a night other than senior citizen’s night.
I want to be read to. I want stimulating intellectual conversation.
I want a birthday present. I want to know what it’s like to be on top.
I want to be stroked gently. I don’t want to be called a disillusioned
idealist. I want to go horseback riding. I want to go whitewater rafting.
I want to go to a movie. I want to do all these things without hearing
a million reasons why they aren’t good ideas. I don’t care if the towels
aren’t folded. I don’t care if the blinds aren’t straight. I want to
spend time laughing. I don’t want to have to be quiet when I get home.
I want to jump and shout and play music and drink tequila and F---ing
LIVE.
