Two Pairs of Birkenstocks
two pairs of birkenstocks sitting
neatly, at the foot of a tree
two people in it’s branches
coordinating for a seat
he loved that she was in a skirt,
and didn’t seem to care
she loved the things he said to her,
and of what he was aware.
they loved the feeling of childhood:
freedom, laughter, glee
the two of them alone and being
just as they were meant to be
two pairs of birkenstocks sitting
neatly, at the foot of a tree
two people in its branches
happy; you and me
