Last night
we watched the sun go down over the swans
drifting
on the water.
We watched
the black birds
flying together across that deep
blue sky
and then looked west,
further away
and watched them fly
through the orange.
The sun was gone
and
we got cold.
We biked to get some soup
and hot tea
then found ourselves arm
in arm
in the CVS trying to pick out chocolate.
It took us a very long time.
We ate chocolate and rode the escalators
to the trains
up and down at least
three times
and pretended we were late
for something, nervous we
would miss the train!
But we were in no rush
at all
we had nowhere to go
and really
we did not want to go home.
But soon the chocolate was gone
and they turned off the escalators.
