A Unanimous Decision To Smile.

Hey paper plate, spin in circles like you used to when we'd make magic with colors like we still could. I'll close my eyes, you can go off someplace close and pretend it's far. Numbers will fill the air for a while until I stop, catch my breath, and try to find you. This is one of those games I've never been very fond of, guessing and checking only to realize I was wrong. So maybe I'll sit here instead, wish for clarity in the form of walls I can see through. Objects I can push away, barriers only I can break. I love the sound of your sigh, a reminder that you're the same as me. We all get tired, so maybe it's just time to sleep. Finally, let your eyes rest, shut down and give me some space to imagine. I'll suspend reality for you, for this, momentarily I might even feel like I could live like this. Dreading the time when we have to wake up, end this dream, begin the next day even before the sun decides to. This game is so much easier when played with two. I think we make a pretty good team, me and you.
