when we were both
stick figures drawn,
and pieced, together
with strokes of an artist's hand

i looked at you with
the dots on my
circlet head and
waited for my smile

and when we were both
stick figures drawn and done
i peeled myself off the page
and reached for an eraser
(and as you started
to appear before me, i
began to see the ways
in which we differ)

Ahhh....I love the idea of stick figures. I especially love the way you worded this, from the point of view of one looking at the other...I love that the one tries to erase the other, or himself, or them both. I also adore the stanza you put in your artist's comments. It sums the piece up beautifully even though the piece might already have been ended. Excellent work! I might just have to add you to my watch list. ^.^
