how I imagine you

walking on the power line
like those success posters

I’ve seen you like that before
I’ve thought you were worth
all of that and more

is that silly of me
do I dream too much

do I imagine you
as something better than you are

is that how I imagine you

how I imagine you, image from the 2005 Scars Publications poetry wall calendar
