You know, I could be doing
pretty much anything right now.
I could be climbing every mountain,
swimming every sea,
dotting every I
and crossing every T.
I’m an active guy
with active interests
including comic books, music,
and musicals about comic books.
I get around,
is what I’m saying.

But I’m here.
Day after day,
I remain in your periphery,
haunting your locales
stuck in your orbit.
It’s really cramping my style
and, occasionally, my legs.
I could be stretching myself
but instead
I’m beside you.

I sure hope you’re worth it.
Kidding.
I surely pray
that I’m worth you.
