You, the wild girl,
And I, with my headache relievers,
Blow caulking off the bottom of ships
Because it’s a good day to sink a person’s hopes and dreams
You, the pretty little number,
And I, the romantic consort,
Blaze across canyons into the oblivion
Of a slowly-setting, cookie-cutter southern sun
The rooks of each other’s hearts, physical energy, and doggedness
