if you weren't real I would make you up

If you weren't real
I would dream of someone
imperfect and impatient
a woman who keeps her thoughts to herself with
her shirttails out

If you weren't real
I would draw pictures of you
blurry, rapid motion sketches
hair flying above a windblown scarf
skirts circling your hips

If you weren't real
I would make you up
write a long novel of you
various introductions and partings
serious dialogue and a ridiculous plot

No one would believe a word

So couch, I hear you've been sleeping with her	I want to rip off your logic and make passionate sense to you	God was in the west too, at one time.	Verisimilitude
Austroslavism	Because that would make sense	watching miracles fall to earth, with only my breath to hold	Be your own fiction. After that, the story almost writes itself.
The stars are listening	You know my history in fragments and I know your life in sketches	How the heart really works	When You Wish Upon a Star
Etch A Sketch	Fashion victim	Pulp Fiction	Saving Grace
breathtaking	Everything you're not supposed to do
