You Two, Incorrigible
April 14, 2015
It’s us against them
nowadays
It never used to be
that way
It was just
us.
Snowglobe us.
Peeps, animal crackers, lunch, laughter
us.
Children’s problems
Family issues
us.
But we had it all-under control
just us.
Now,
We don’t know how
to think about anything.
If we spent the amount
of time
it would take
to process everything
We would be more processed
Than all the Cheezits
in a supersize box.
She came to me
in my dream,
you know.
She was youthful
Beautiful
Her voice,
as we remember it,
Sassy, tough,
Full of conviction
Strength of thousands,
Strength for all of us.
just us.
Us.
She told me
Not to tell you
I am sure she knew
that I would
After all,
it was never me,
then you,
then her,
It was always,
Us.
When I did tell you anyway
I am sure she knew
I would;
When I did anyway
We laughed,
We ached,
But we laughed anyway.
The two of us
We laughed
imagining
She would be shaking her head in heaven.
She’d say,
You two,
Incorrigible.
