‘Let’s do a Sam, Patrick and Charlie,’
(Do I even have to tell you that
I’m always in-yes with you?)
‘What’s our tunnel song?’
Click. Radio music filling the car.
You tell me over the music that
You don’t want a tunnel song
Because
Why have one song when we
Can have a playlist of it?
Our tunnel playlist starts with:
**01. young blood—the naked and the famous: you’ll keep my secrets
hope to die/promise and swear it to the sky.
02. love somebody—maroon 5: and if I fall for you/ I’ll never recover
03. lego house—ed sheeran: and I’ll surrender up my heart /
and swap it for yours
04. animal—neon trees: what are you waiting for? / take a bite of my
heart tonight
05. yellow—coldplay: do you know? / you know I love you so
06. i need you now—lady antebellum: and I wonder if I ever cross
your mind / for me it happens all the time
07. lightning—the wanted: how many times do I fly through your
headspace / now it’s speeding away from a safe place**
I don’t even like half of the songs
The radio played but it was
Perplexing how I find a
Line or two of it
To keep track of
My feelings.
‘Do you see it?’ You gesture at the road.
I recalled that bit of Charlie’s letter.
Omitted bits of it and filled it with some
As lightning—the wanted starts to fade
And another song plays,
‘I like this song,’ I tell you
‘I like it, too.’
**and if you only die once/
i wanna die with you**
‘Let’s hit the notes,’
—fingers drumming on the wheel
I finger snap occasionally.
When the song ended, we have
The same answer for the same question:
‘Do you feel infinite?’
