"Maybe no one's really crazy. Everyone is just a little bit mad. How much depends on where you fall in the spectrum. How much depends on how lucky you are." - Joshua Walters

You are the fleeting helicopter in the dark and starless, urban night sky
Illuminating and enthralling
Deceiving young, city men drunk with the hope of new beginnings
Promising to fulfill every archetypal and redolent wish
Leaving just as quickly as you had entered
Elusive . . .
  Fading . . .
     Out

From when I was younger and thought helicopters were shooting stars as I gazed out my small apartment window.
