Unsolved Equations

I want you to cut me into little pieces,
To go diving into the depths of madness,
I will be satisfied with nothing less.
I want you to stretch my body
Like a contortionist
All the way to Alaska
I will be satisfied with nothing less.
I want you to take me
Through a thousand imaginations
To the one million dunes
To the mountains
To the seas
Take me to the dreams
To little moments of poetry,
I will be satisfied with nothing less.
