It was once said that a cat can live 9 lives
But a person could live a thousand more
Nothing compared to
The glamor, the effervescence, the costumes;
A wish they hoped would come true:
To run away from their world of gloom
They once were teens in love on ship, slowly sinking
Or a man who defied gravity on the walls of every city
Or a fish who learned to “just keep swimming”
Or a man who learned life was like a box of chocolates, so witty
Yet here the person lay
Heart stolen by the moving pictures the box displayed
A Thousand and Nine Lives
