the birds and batman boy

extremely eager

for friendship

he tries to force the feeding

but finally 

finding the flailing

to be failing

he squats down

stretches out 

his grubby little hand

and waits

as patiently

as is possible

for a batman boy

        ~ Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

"Why is it," he said, one time, at the subway entrance,  "I feel I've known you so many years?"  "Because i like you," she said, "and I don't want anything from you."

       ~Ray Bradbury,  Fahrenheit 451
