Shift By John Nelson

SHIFT

THERE HE IS!
   WALKING DOWN THE STREET...
   I AM IN MY  BLUE CAR...
   AND THEN
   SHIFT!

I LOOK DOWN FOR ONLY A MOMENT
   HE GONE!
WAIT !  LOVER!  COME BACK!
   DAMN.  HE IS NOT THERE!
   LOVER!  COME BACK!
AND THEN SHIFT!
 
   THERE HE IS HONEY 
   IN YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR
   HE IS...HE IS...OH MY GOD...
   HE IS WEARING A PRIDE T-SHIRT
   AND HE MUSCLE BOY!
   OH MY GOD!
   AND THEN...
   SHIFT!

TURN THE CORNER!  WHAT?  HERE?
  I TURN MY HEAD AND HE IS GONE...
  WHAT THE WHAT IS GOING ON?
   THERE IS NOBODY THERE......AND THEN SHIFT!
   VROOM....VROOM....OH MY GOD HE IS A DREAM
   HE IS MY GOD!  OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT 
   YES!  I'M HERE....OVER HERE....IN THE BLUE CAR...
   NO....NOT IN THE SHOP....HERE!   I WILL WAVE TO HIM.....
   WAVE WAVE WAVE
   AND THEN SHIFT.

HE GONE!  SOMEBODY PULLED HIM UP TO HEAVEN....WHAT?
