Sandy Olsen Dream

One day

I want to walk through a crowd

With a virgin Marlboro Light clipped between the corner of my lips

And watch the people scramble

To light me

short and powerful and isn't it strange what magic these damn Marlboros get when banned into the hidden dark corner? i really like that poem, the touchhness of the beginning, the promise in it. So vivid!

So you want to be famous...:) Who doesn´t? I think we all daydream about becoming famous at least three times a week, and especially at work. I like the way you said "To light me". It wraps up the poem quite nicely.

Lighting of cigarette. A act to create a hello and a possible friendship. I like the use of words and the vision create. Thank you for sharing the entertaining poem.

Do you think Sandy really dreamed this?

"To light me" is a good last line.

No, that's my own personal Sandy Olsen dream
