And for a second, He becomes everything he ever dreamed of being.

He walked into the crowd
Like blue food colouring drops in a glass of clear water
Moving like piece of velvet caught in the wind

He was dressed in the finest silks
Ember threads danced with indigo fabric
Rippling on his flawless skin

He inhaled the crowds expectations
And breathed a sweet word softly against the air
With all the force of a heartbroken child

And every heart melted
Like thick chocolate on a summer sidewalk
A natural high brought on by love

He moved into the crowd
And tripped on the first step
Falling ass over teakettle

And the spell was broken
And the crowd laughed
And time started again

No feelings of twisting velvet
No magic and mimicry
No melted chocolate

Another day
Another dollar
And a man in overly flamboyant clothing.

"Whoa, doesn't that guy look weird?"

"I dunno. I think it looks good"
