creeping into my daydream, you, a virtual stranger, take center stage. i just sit and think and never dial a number or click zip an email or just happen to be standing in the stairwell outside your office door...

no.

i sit and think and pretend and everything works out. works out just right. how we sit and talk in the dark at 3am, safely spilling out the rocks and gems of lifestory. share a cup of sunday morning coffee listening to birds chit-chatting or ducking into small dark alleys for that lovedrunk kiss...

i want.
to be your favorite book
your favorite color
your superhero

i want.
to recite wild dirty limericks
while raising a pint
toasting that devious animal roaming
through the ventricles that beats out
the bright red juice
that little gray/blue ghost slipping through
the maze of gray mater and slippery slush
tripping over electrical wires that
make me go go go
and wish,
pretend,
you're here
sitting
while i write
this.

    I've given up on being anyone's superhero. I'll just settle for being noticed once in a while. Being a superhero is too heavy an obligation anyhow.
