The Dichotomy of Duchenne

My head felt so warm there on your shoulder

and we swayed back and forth until you felt right

about putting your hands there

There were few things that would lead us back to this

so we stopped counting the seconds

and just started with recalling the smell of all of it

And I was very certain that we would be just this way

even in the light of day

so we walked together in the moonlight

and to the bottom of the quarry

in the middle, we turned and faced each other

and we backtracked until the mist settled in like Red

and questioned how far we would love each other then

and whether we would know what laughter sounded like in the future

But I knew it didn't matter---

because we would always find each other funny
