Day 304
9:15 pm
–
hearts, encumbered
–
there it was, as it were, two hearts in a staring
contest, very pleased with themselves
naive, as it was, we fantasized a playground
that could host a monkey and Tinkerbell,
with no intrusion from the real world, or fickle
hearts, or vacations that must come to an end
we made all-access passes out of cardboard
and forgot about the probability of rain
but you had rights to my vocabulary, I held rights
to your pillowcase, so we were kind of invincible
you even told me not to worry when I had to leave
and go on ahead, far, far ahead
then the day came, you returned with my heart
in your suitcase, but I had just found a new one
I didn’t mean to, but it showed up at my door
every day and I am weak to persistence
so there we stood again, two hearts who would
give anything to trade places in a moment
and nothing else except a lot of looking down,
staring into the wonder of why and how come
