What I wanted to shout while the steps were moving

Dear beautiful stranger who stared at me
on the escalator -

I think we could make something happen.
I have seen a house with walls white as pages.
We could take it.

I have a lot of belongings.
You might like my poems.
I might admire your ambition.

We could swim in each other,
compare our crap drawings of trees.

Very visual poem. I especially liked the tongue-in-cheek humor.
