This is maybe more just a collection of thoughts than a poem

Just Once

Just once I’d like to
~Fly to another country
~Sip champagne in the back of a limousine
~Sleep peacefully in the arms of another
~Gamble and win
~Go shopping on Fifth Ave. just for the fun of it
~Have my poetry read aloud to me in bed
~Laugh in the face of danger
~Attend the theater in an evening gown
~Attend a formal event in blue jeans
~Get flowers “Just Because”
~Wish upon a falling star and have it come true
~Drink Tequila in Mexico
~Make love on a sandy beach in Southern California
And just once I’d like to know
~What it feels like to be truly loved
