Cheating
When the werewolf in his pizza shop, fatigued,
goes home, and never hears the fairy's call,
when the statue gleams on a frosted new year's eve,
but says nothing to the spurned child who scrubs her
grimy base, never feels the disappointment rise in her,
when a boy wandering the Iowa train yards
vanishes before he can perform his last conjuration,
when the king, considering war in far Sha-La,
and thinking better of it, stays his knights,
and the squire remains a squire, and the princess a princess,
then you will know that I am cheating.

Wow. You have amazed me yet again.This really hit me hard. At first, I was like "Where is this going?" But it was perfect in the end. I loved it.
