"I like you", she said
"You're just bored", he said.

Do you want to be rich?
Famous?
DO YOU, want your name,
in the History books?
or just softly whispered
in the morning?

'I can't lie to you",
She said...
That was her first lie.

Time exploded,
Space expanded,
Gas turned into ***** of fire,
Suns,
Gravity made cosmic dirt into planets,
Oceans raised, life grew...
Swam and then walked,
Hunted then foraged,
Lived alone then lived together,
built villages then cities,
fought and then lived in peace,
lived and died,
all this so your auburn  eyes,
could make me feel like a kid,
again...
in a toy store.

If you ask me,
I'd say we got off cheap.

Tell me about
your bicycle lights,
do they shine?
like embers in the
dark of night
or are they faded?
like far away stars
who omit some days
that they are there.
forget your bike.
I'll come find you.
