be-song-ing

When I die, I think I'd like to become a song.

Naturally, I'd like to become a song I like, but, the more I think about it, any song will do.

Even if only the singer likes it or sings it, that's what I think I'd like to be: Edgeless, un-own-able, and somehow moving.

Maybe someone else will bring a banjo and we can be-song together.

  2. Personally, I'd prefer to be a mantra or a dharani.

    Besides I'd think it would be fun to have somebody like Tina Turner chant me.
