The poet’s answer

What is my dream career? What do I want to do with my life?

Everyone familiar with Pierre Bottero’s work knows that every questions has two answers: the scholar’s and the poet’s.

I’ll pass on the scholar’s this time. I find it a bit too grown up and boring.

But I’ll give you the poet’s answer. It goes like this:

I will be an astronaut,

A chef, a fireman, a doctor,

A dancer, a teacher, a scientist,

But also a magician, an alchemist and a knight.

I’ll travel on land, in the air and on water.

I’ll swim in the clouds, and fly with the fishes.

And when I’ve seen the entire world,

I’ll visit the others.

Most of all, I’ll make new friends.

Women, men, young and old.

Elves, fairies, giants, gnomes and dragons.

Let’s not forget vampires, werewolves and witches.

And when I’ve done and seen everything imaginable,

I’ll tackle the rest :)
