I like to lie awake
thinking of romantically
with him, forever after
yes, I do

want to be the princess, I know my role
but my prince still makes mistakes
and blames me for Great Expectations
that he mocks

preferably in the presence of others
because laughing is healthy
anyway, just me is good
enough

we say: you are my dearest
a little crazy
but beautiful
the way you are
For Michael J. K. (“Ancient Master”)
