if i were a river

if i were a river 
would you swim within me? 

would i be a rip-roaring rapid 
with an undertow of ignorance? 

would you float upon me 
subtly splashing sarcastics 
that patronize my purpose 
and dramatizes the surface? 

do you dive with fervor
to rise with fear? 

if i were a river 
would i be your destination 
or a mere means of transportation?
