Somebody Else’s Heroes
She is a plane low on fuel.
I am a lighthouse.
I live in a ground floor fire.
She is a strong rope.
I am a veteran lifeguard.
Her foot is caught in train tracks.
She unites unlike things in a metaphor.
My life is a sine and a tangent.
I carry a landslide on my back.
She is a truck full of cleaning supplies.
She is plagued by insomnia.
I can debug any software.
A shark has me half-swallowed.
She has a meteor warning system.
She mourns the death of a friend.
I have an emergency ace up my sleeve.
I am a mugging victim.
She has life-saving fashion tips.
Her sense of self is lost.
I have a perfect sense of timing.
She is a crop lacking sun and rain.
I am a winning lottery ticket.
I want a smile or a touch.
She is a preacher with the right way to live.
It’s tempting to think we might
have been somebody else’s heroes.
