You Don't Have to Impress Me
I must apologize
for my infatuation
with movie and rock stars.
It's in my chart,
Neptune nestled up to Mars
in Scorpio.
I've lived in a dream world
for so long, this new reality
is a heady one.
My life now
better than flickering images
from a music video.
What can I say?
I've got a musician of my own
now.
He plays Christmas songs
for Salvation Army donations
on a harmonica.
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
never sounded so sweet.
