The Unlikeliest Duo

Her

With long brown hair

Golden when caught by the sun

A smile that goes miles

That lights up the stage when she performs

Him

With curly black hair

Glasses

Brown eyes

Hard to reach

But not quite impossible

Hard to talk to

But listens well.

They didn't meet

Because they chose to.

They didn't need each other

Until they met each other

And then

Suddenly

They could not survive

By themselves

On their own

Because

Of 

Destiny

Or was it?

Was it really destiny?

Or was it 

Scrambled dice

Rolled around

Or a cat

Whacking a yarn ball

And it wasn't meant to happen at all?

Regardless

It HAPPENED

They met

Anyway

And they became

A duo

Just

Like

That

  • Envelope

    My science teacher accused me

    playfully and yet fiercely

    of stealing an envelope

    I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

    so it glues together

    because it was just so tempting.

  • I believe

    I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

    but I don't believe in who we are.

    It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

    I am.

    I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

    and I won't.

  • True love

    True love.

    Love that's true.

    Love you know

    in your heart

    is you and another person.

     

    I guess I like to think I'm in love

    I never really know.
