i leaned in
i said something
you leaned in some more
it rained
it did something else
it almost did all the rest of it
there are lots of people and it wanted to happen
‘cut a promo,’ it said
‘tao,’ you said
i leaned in to you
we leaned against each other standing there
somewhere
i don’t know
this is what we were doing
we were standing next to a bus stop
next to a tree on a sidewalk of the city
every reason was good
‘i am thinking’ i said
we sat down
it was raining
every five minutes i made a mistake and disappeared
but you are the beach ball flying through the darkness
and i bump into you there and we ricochet a little but we stay close
after a while we found the light switch
but it didn’t do anything
i knew i was in a bright room
everyone was there
tom cruise is jumping from an exploding ship and landing and a woman’s feet to propose
someone on a swing blows bubbles that float above the swing set
and pop against the house
there is cake in the darkness
a human that looked trustworthy is looking for you here
you give me a hand
i cried
something good happened
i cried and crying made my laugh
