Similar.
you and I
are not similar
you with your duffle
bag of doubts
me with my
face half submerged
in a pool of stars
and starfish.
you only wanted
to plant me
knee deep in the
potato earth
but I made
like a dream
and arm wrestled
angels
all the way
to the very
big top
I would have
taken you
if you had only
let go
and hung on.
