Font Color=darkvioleti Can Poem by Jane Meyer

I can play a game
without knowing all the rules.
I can walk a mile in another’s shoes
without ever knowing their face.
I can travel across the world
without getting on a plane.
I can have a conversation
without speaking the words aloud.
I can meet new people
without them meeting me.
I can experience falling in love
without leaving my home.
I can learn one thousand things
without the aid of a teacher.
I can watch a movie
without the film existing.
I can listen to a song
without once hearing it sung.
I can envision a place
without ever having been to it.
I can be lost at sea
without a whiff of the salty breeze.
I can forge bonds of friendship
without any form of communication.
I can understand a foreign tongue
without instruction in the language.
I can feel the pain of death
without losing anyone close to me.

I can do all of this
without breaking the rules that bind this earth,

Because I can read a book
and follow its words to a new world.
