last night i ate a magical turkey sandwich.

it was magical because i could make it taste like anything i wanted. really. it was a hot ham and cheese sandwich, and it was a chicken drumstick. it was a bite of lasagna, a sliver of salmon, a few pieces of asparagus, a slice of cheesecake, a hamburger with the works... it was everything i thought of.

rob and i played a game where he'd name something and i'd try to taste it. the only thing i couldn't quite make my magical turkey sandwich taste like was a banana. but at that point i wasn't really trying, so... i dunno. it could be that, or it could just be that bananas are anti-magical or something. ha.

yunno tho, it's really quite amazing what you can convince your mind of. i've been getting so good at it lately that i scare myself. i feel like i literally can do anything i set my mind to. why, just last night i flew over nyc, a city i'd never been to. and i flew without the aide of commercial airlines or hot air balloons. i had a black cape with silver sparkles on it that flashed when the lights of the city caught them at the right angle.

i don't remember why i decided to fly over nyc, or how i got there in the first place. or how i got back, as i don't recall flying over the midwest. (but then, who would remember anything as dull as that?) all i know is i thought it, and it was so.

it's a big thing, being able to bend your mind this way and that. a little overwhelming, even. but don't worry, fellow citizens. i have no plans to take over the world and force everyone to eat turkey sandwiches that taste like everything but. i'm a little too selfish for that. i want to keep the magical turkey sandwiches for myself. and i'd prefer my midnight flying sprees over nyc to remain solo missions.

what i do want to use this power for, is to achieve each and every one of my dreams. and i want to use it to convince myself that my body will never again give out on me, that my heart will always remain young, and that my mind will never stop working.

i want to use it to build a ladder so high that i can reach out and touch the stars.
