Grand Illusion
<p>A postcard image,</p>
<p>a selfie that would receive a thousand likes.</p>
<p>A scene out of a movie — the end, of course, of a romantic drama,</p>
<p>or a romcom, maybe starring Meg Ryan.</p>
<p>But not Megan Fox, and I don’t know why.</p>
<p>It’s a story of two people who were not born into magic —</p>
<p>born into the dream —</p>
<p>but had to find it.</p>
<p>Maybe that’s why</p>
<p>it could only exist in a lie,</p>
<p>because the magic was never found.</p>
<p>The line to reach the top of the Eiffel Tower is roughly two hours,</p>
<p>starting at around 9am.</p>
<p>On weekends,</p>
<p>more like three.</p>
<p>That’s a good trek through the louvre, or Orsay,</p>
<p>a decent day shopping (or window shopping) on the Champs Elyssee.</p>
<p>A dream won’t dwell on the wait in line, the sore feet, the frayed nerves</p>
