• suddenly,
    i find myself
    desperately wanting
    to be
    you.
    just for a few moments.
    just for a few moments,
    i’d like to
    breathe
    through your perfectly-shaped nose,
    see
    through your breathtakingly beautiful eyes,
    experience
    how truly wonderful it must be
    to be
    you.
    why can’t
    i be
    perfect
    like you?
    i want
    to be
    perfect
    like you.
    you.
    that’s what i’ll be
    for halloween.
    i’ll be
    you
    and they’ll all
    think i’m
    perfect
    like you
    because
    i will do a good job.
    i study you
    so intently from
    behind
    my
    reddish bangs.
    i think,
    with just a little more work,
    i could easily
    memorize
    you.
    because i want to be
    just
    like
    you.
