PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Let's pretend we're somewhere else

Some place not so gray

This wide street can be Paris

And we can sit at the sidewalk cafe

Pretend the food is good

I can be your mistress

Call me Claudette

I'll call you Jacques

We'll buy berets

Kiss and walk hand in hand

Like we weren't in a bland, dinky town

With little money

And nothing to do

But pretend to be anywhere else
