Fake it till ya make it.

She betters me for being in the same room.
The type of girl that silver screens your mind, and credits you for
all the glitz when you've never spent a day of glamor in your life.
I pre-live our time together so's i may have something of wit
or charm to say, my fear.... bursting the bubble i've ex-haled
one breath at a time, i've become quite the imposter.....
with any luck I can transform this shape-shifter gentlemen
into the man of her dreams, god knows she inhabits all of mine.

pre-live... a man lost in his daydream, with that ache that pushes for it to be born into reality. That one sentiment makes the work extraordinary...

"I pre-live our time together." The imagined scenario never plays out quite right. And God damn it man you really know how to turn a phrase.

like a hushed-up, folded up quickly love letter. . .one written that should never really be read...lest said 'she' realize how much she has 'undone' in you, and your facade becomes see.through [which would quite be the point, allowing that re.ach(e) of love to go beyond normal boundaries of skin and bones]...what a thing to begin this morning; this whispersoft soul of a man, exposed, dreamed, as to what he aspires/inspires to be.come, for her.. ... open and refreshing, airily honest. .... ''pre-live our time'' what a simply great line...we all do that; invent the enamoured little things. ...making love to a mirage until the 'hope of' is 'truth of'. did i say beautiful write????? egads......

'...transform this shape-shifter gentlemen...'... rearranging those subliminal squares of orange thoughts... perhaps. i love this:)
