there are characters in romance in wit
in seances that try to pull wool
over your blind eyes

smarter fools than I
catch their games
their playfulness

I believe in them

or want

for I

am star struck and  earthbound

wanting more to life
I sit and hope for  aliens to visit

conjure up visions of ghostly
visitors on full moon nights
werewolves

daredevils  
tight walking Imagineers
peering into an abyss

with thoughts
from the realm of make  believed
childhood innocence

fairy tailed

I love stories and dreams and romance
I love tripping over my two big clodhopper feet
and falling through

my ******* nearly breaking

my ****** neck

again
