I WOULD TAKE 

The smell of toasted marshmallows fresh from the fire. 

The smell of crispy bacon. 

The smell of newly cut grass from a field in Summer. 

I WOULD TAKE 

The taste of brownies magically homemade. 

The taste of pizza from the red panda union. 

The 24karat gold cheese toastie that is mouth-watering at the thought. 

I WOULD TAKE 

The calmness of a cherry blossom tree. 

The hunger of a fly trap. 

The protection of a cactus as prickly as a bee’s stinger. 

I WOULD TAKE 

The happiness of sadness and the sadness of happiness. 

The joys of life and the hatred of hate. 

The envy of fear and the fear of envy. 

I WOULD TAKE 

The colourfulness of geodes. 

The fascination of bismuth. 

The toxicity of crocidolite.
