"You"

You’re beautiful.
Like the new-grown skin on a scab from a sidewalk scrape.
You’re beautiful.

You’re funny.
Like the major party candidates in a presidential debate.
You’re funny.

You’re wise.
Like an athlete gone pro and then forced into coaching.
You’re wise.

You’re cute.
Like a furry little Plaza squirrel just before he gnaws your finger for grabbing his nuts.
You’re cute.

You’re happy.
Like a nurse who never quite made it into medical school, but pretends it doesn’t matter.
You’re happy.

You’re amazing.
Like a mushroom cloud over a heavily populated city on Easter Sunday.
You’re amazing.
