the
young and the bitter
you said, wait.
i said, it's not like we're trying to raise bread.
or a reluctant phoenix.
you said, let's stay
like this forever.
i said, stay here,
i'll go borrow some wax from madame tussaud's.
you said, don't go
completely.
i said, i suddenly have to go water the plants.
the sun's right above our heads,
here's my short shadow,
for before the sun shifts a few degrees.
you said, be patient.
i said, no, you already played doctor last time.
you said, you're
bitter.
i heard, i'm better.
you said, wait.
i said, how high?
