when two poets fall in love
they don't fall
they float
and dive and splash
at the same time

everyday communication
rivals best-selling dialogue
libraries of romance
hold nothing to the love notes
with which they sprinkle life

bystanders wonder
if gods or stars or anything
could articulate
the eloquence they exude for eachother

when two poets fall in love
they soar
they muse
they scrapbook dates with words
art becomes a survival skill
an explosion
when two poets fall in love
there's not a catch
