In praise of my two-dimensional girl

Tom Vanderman

In praise of my two-dimensional girl
whose outer beauty is reflected
by the soft light
glancing off the glossy page
revealing a sparkling smile
in perpetual greeting
and a playful air
as the ever-so-gentle wind
wafts through the wisps
of her golden hair.

I honestly don’t see a purpose
in adding another dimension
to my desire
be it a measure of insecurity
a scrap of jealousy
or a portion of condescension.

Yet I’ll airbrush my surface attractions
polish a sleek veneer over my animalistic urges
add a dollop of luster
to spring to life
and walk, erect,
out into the open air
beside you.
