If god was a potato would we love the light the shadow of sleep hangs over my mind and body chalk scratching across the board people scratching across the street ideas scratching across the internet planet scratching across the velvet-stretched sky.
If god was a princess would she have the head of a beautiful woman with the body of a cucumber the marx brothers doing mad libs with an alligator pie.
Heroic couplets dance across the floor,
Until they find their way up to the door.
And tumble out with last week's laundry.
If god was a gong who's to say freedom wouldn't ring poem scratching across the page words scratching across the madness sleep scratching across the quiet unseeing mind.

My class really liked this one, including my prof. I'll admit I wasn't really thinking too hard when I wrote it. I was sitting in a class and wrote down the phrase "If God was a potato" out of sheer boredom. Since there was an hour and a half of class was left, I decided to just let that phrase run away with me and see where the hell it led me. The original handwritten poem had a definite line structure, but when I typed it out, I decided to play with it a little and made all the stanzas run-on sentences except for the third one. I'm pretty proud of this poem after all the praise its recieved, and I was wondering what else I could do with it.
