Reckless Aspirations

I am a car parked in the back alley, ready for a quick get-away.

I am an emergency exit; unlocked and with no alarm.

I am a trap door.

I am a secret safe hidden behind your favorite picture.

I am the key to those handcuffs, hidden in a secret pouch with-in your clothing.

I am the button hidden beneath the counter at banks.

I am the secret compartment in the drawer of your desk.

I am a secret under ground passage way.

I am the ace up your sleeve.

I am a dreamer that suffers from aspirations

of being the dream

that you have

which makes you smile in your sleep.

Sick with delusions, hoping that one day

I might get to be your wings.
