i met this couple in one of those typical college parties
we used to go to, me and my friends.
she waved at me, tiara on head, one hand around his arm,
her eyes sparkling.
sparkling, like lips pursed into a smile.
he led her away, past the hallway
littered with plastic cups and bottles of booze,
past balloons popped and burst, colored strips of
party favors strewn on the floor.
her eyes smiled like lips pursed,
tiara on head, one hand around his arm
as he led her far far away
past their childhood,
past the lives they led,
past tomorrow and beyond.
