there was a boy
a boy with three wishes
one wish was that he could have super powers
but everyone wishes that, so it doesn't count
the second wish was that he could do the impossible
see the unseeable
be with the unattainable
touch the untouchable
but, for now at least
he could not
but he took some small measure of comfort
in the fact that when he looked up
she was staring at those same stars
his second wish was that he could stop the urges
the urges to take that one step too far
when the train came to the station
