Conditionals
Posted by Cortney Charleston | Filed under Poetry, Print
If George Clinton had become President
And Chocolate City never melted
If the bird flipped was a peace symbol
Like its name implied
If nerd was sexy and paid as such
If homies on the corners listened to Common Sense
Before he went commercial
If money grew on trees
And didn’t leave cotton splinters
If the elector’s voted like they went to college
If college didn’t treat me
As just another commodity
If the dreams weren’t always more vivid than reality
If drinks tasted the same
In cans and bottles
If marijuana was conjoined
With every new treaty
If food was served family style every night
If rain came at uniform speed
And always with deliberate warning
If the clocks had fatter faces
Then, life would be air conditioned
