The Costumed Dream

Seems like I'm falling 
in love 
     with Bat-Girl
   Don't ask me how this happened 
       Women in costumes 
appeal to me 
     Not long ago I hugged a woman 
in a cat costume
    Comic book dreams 
coming through once more 
  Green Lantern, Magneto and 
       the reat 
are competing with me 
for the love of 
  a costumed woman 
I think that "love steeers the star" 
  Fantasy women are sometimes 
easier to deal with than real ones

Interesting write, Matthew. Problem is, fantasy are unreachable. The only connection with it is in the head, and the head can get quite dizzy with these. Afterwards there is a hangover to get through, real bad headache. :) I guess it can get pretty addictive. Thanks for your comments on my latest, and i agree. Take care!
