out into the white yellow concrete jungle
across heat soaked stone
she wished,
with a childish grin,
for a quest,
the whoosh,
she said
a twinkle in her eyes
and i,
tethered to her by locks of lustrous, thick hair,
followed her into the void
my world reduced to the slightest slits
tingly, weightless, floating, bobing on the heat,
following
and she
dancing just ahead
adorned in pineapples, and melons, and cherries,
and the tiny phone in the tiny pocket
nestled between her shoulder blades,
we looked for
the whoosh
