If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be Ponyo
because I want to fall in love with a girl
who can do magic and has webbed feet
and we'd be brought together by fate
I want a goldfish to say to me
"Ponyo loves Jake"
If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be Kiki's Delivery Service
because I want to fly away from home
and I want to live on the coast
and work in some random bakery
and help a boy who has a crush on me build a flying machine
If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be Porco Roso
because that pig flying around in his fighter plane is
fucking loco
and you would think that by the end of the movie
he'd turn back into a human
but by the end you see it's okay to be
a pig
If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be Princess Mononoke
because I want a vicious wolf princess to tell me
that everything is okay
and I want to save the trees
and I want to prove myself worthy
of being rid of the demon
inside of me
If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be Spirited Away
because I often dream of vanishing
from this world without a trace
and hanging out with a spirit with no face
and saving my parents from becoming a three course meal
and getting them back to what is real
and helping Haku remember his real name
If my life was a Hayoa Miyazaki film,
I'd want it to be My Neighbor Totoro
because I want to do a dance and watch the trees all grow
and play in the yard with my sister May
and find out where the trails in the forest go
and catch soot sprites in my house
and plant trees with you
Totoro
