We Have Never Spoken (Free verse) by fevriere
I watch their dry mouths moving, and their moping.
They have grown attached to griping,
and I hear their monotonous coping.
They should be devastated with lead piping.
They have grown old and tired,
I will, in my cycle, go that way too
but not before I change the end
and we smile and it saves you.
We are still young, I decide
and we bound off the bus in the rain
you, shaking up puddles with your stride
and me, wet-lipped and young again.
