We finally arrive
even though you thought twice about it
more than once

And there we are
laughing at nothing.
And my Scrabble tiles had to be just so.
I won that way.
Why didn’t you care?

After sunset, riding home on our bicycles,
I made you stay in the grass.
The light – oh, a barely dim force -
could not help you then.
And the road was a far darker gray than you thought.

Didn’t I see you disappear within the lanes?
Didn’t I see you vanish?
Stop! Come onto the grass!
We’re almost home.

She gets up from her place on the ground
Brushes the dirt from her worn out jeans
She sees him comin’ near her
But she ingores him

And he says to her all those things that you’d expect to hear
But those things don’t mean a thing unless he’s listening

Mikey’s finally letting go
But his warm heart keeps him hopeful
He’s got a long long way to go
if she’s leaving

And she is going but it’s not where
Oh so quickly down deep dark despair
Can he lift her out of
the darkness

So he says to her all those things that you’d like to hear
’bout how she’s more beautiful than a bird’s song

Todd, Josh, and Holly were always the best at everything. They invented angles and hummus. Two thirds of angles remained acute; the other third became obtuse; and none were right angles. Two thirds of the hummus became cheesy; the other third became plain; and none was garlic and herb hummus.

In The End

Todd bent all obtuse angles reflex and sent Josh to prepare the hummus. He added garlic and herbs to the cheesy hummus and sent Holly to cook Paninis at 90 degrees. Plain hummus is useless. The Paninis gave reflex angles the third degree and they were burned with plain hummus.

She stroke him some more, anyway.
