TONY JUST WANTS A BIG FAT SANDWICH!

TONY is a business man, holding a stack of bread IN HIS HAND

Tony is more than a hero:

Tony is more than a hero
he is a god in my eyes—
the hero who is allowed
to sit beside you — he

who listens intimately
to the sweet murmur of
your voice, the enticing

laughter that makes my own
heart beat fast. If I meet
you suddenly, I can't

speak — my tongue is broken;
a thin flame runs under
my skin; seeing nothing,

hearing only my own ears
drumming, I drip with sweat;
trembling shakes my body

and I turn paler than
dry grass. At such times
death isn't far from me.
