With you,
a walk to the corner
drug store
becomes a stroll down
a mystical path sprinkled
with magic and moondust
secret portals leading
to Atlantis disguised
as manhole covers
and traffic lights
— in (un)reality—
send fiber optic
love vibes
to the God of War
How is it you turn
a dime-a-dozen
into one-in-a-million?
