If only we were …

By B. R. Gowani

No hearts would get broken
No relations would get tattered
No eyes get swollen
No minds get depressed

No dreams would get shattered
No thoughts get scattered

No pictures would crop up
No memories pop up

No sadness would drop in
No longing hop in

No emotional needs would go uncared
No physical desires go unattended

No unaffordable marriages
No messy divorces
No alimony worries
No child-support problems

If only …

It’s a thought
Just a thought
Merely a thought

If we were … amoeba-humans …
