Applying to Read His Poetry

First, I will be average
                        with dirty blonde hair
                        or simply a dirty blonde...
                        Fading blue eyes
                        nothing other than
                        overflowing toilets
                        and children's screams
                        will distract me from reading
                        his first few lines

                        But lost for the moment
                        My eyes will moisten
                        with a new blue hue
                        from the punches -
                        his words
                        a blow to my stomach
                        Dizziness and satisfaction will
                        fill my mind
                        as I read those first few lines...
                        a hundred times

                        My application to read his poetry
                        the uncontrollable beating of my heart
                        I'd stand in the rain
                        raincoat worn and torn
                        hair drenched and mopped
                        reading those visions
                        the shared dreams of my own
                        Unaware of time
                        gripping the pages of his thoughts
                        smiling at the treasure
                        found in the reverie
                        of those first few lines
