Rhetorical Question
Epic saga, romantic heroine, rags
to riches and famous to boot, practically
perfect in every way, the stuff
legends are made of
do the people these words apply to know it
or do they feel, like me
mouse-brown and peering from a hiding place
wanting to leave any room they are in, walk
away from themselves and keep going
while secretly hoping to be noticed
just the same?
