Imagine Poem by Shushan Artinian

Imagine

Rating: 5.0


Imagine a deaf conductor or a mute singer;
Imagine a blind painter or a paralyzed swimmer.
Imagine yourself a great pilot;
Alas, you cannot be; you have myopia.
Imagine yourself a wine-taster;
Alas, you cannot be; you have ageusia.
Imagine yourself a mother;
Alas, you cannot be; you are a man.
Imagine yourself a man;
Alas, you cannot be; you are a woman.
Reality limits you from being what you want to be,
But who needs reality, when you can imagine all you want to be.
