What if John Lennon is having lunch with Elvis Presley right now? What if the people who said the moon landing is fake are not real people? What if Trump’s hair has been trying to escape his head this whole time? What if people never went into caves so the phenomenon of people being trapped in caves went away? What if chickens had penises? (Look it up.) What if the WiFi on airplanes was so much faster? What if instead of using WiFi on planes we talked to the person in the next seat? What if the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee opened up its empty rooms to people who needed a place to stay? What if you could put a mini-house in your pocket and still live in it? What if instead of borders we had…no borders? What if instead of trade wars we just traded, or better yet, gave it all away? What if the only walls were the ones on buildings, and even those had the biggest windows, curtains optional? What if instead of party lines, we just had parties? What if the only time children were separated from their parents was when they went away to college? What if everyone could afford to go to college? What if John Lennon is outside of your house right now…and Elvis is with him, and Bobby, and Martin, and Yitzchak, and Tupac, and Kurt, and Janis and Jimi? What if they’re all there? What if they’ve been there this whole time? What a world…what a world…
