Couplet
by Kendra Grant Malone & Matthew Savoca
i don’t want us to care about anything
let’s go to india tomorrow
no, let’s go to morocco
we’ll just be there
and we’ll be us
and it’ll be what we’re doing
walking through the desert, rolling around
in the different colored sand,
taking pictures of ourselves
at an arm’s length,
using our 6 inch voices
we can measure it out with a comb
and then talk about where we want to go next
we’ll pick somewhere
with really large trees
you’ll disappear inside one and i’ll wait
a little while
and then try to find you
i’ll get a bloodhound if i have to
and then we’ll go to the ocean and share your headphones
and your cigarettes
and we’ll swim, oh can we swim?
the bloodhound will watch us
from the shore, whimpering
