"Ordinary life does not interest me. I seek only the high moments. I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous." ~Anais Nin

Attraction

Small creature,
You follow me from house to car
Car to work
And back again.
What is is about me 
That makes you
Seek me out?
Sometimes I only see shadows
Of your passing—
The iridescent webbing
Of your whereabouts.
Sometimes 
I feel you step upon my skin.
You are beautiful,
I will admit that this is true,
But other than my promise
Not to harm
Your little self,
I really don't know what
It is about me
That's so attractive to you.
