LOOP


we get drunk
put on our favourite song:
it’s got to be ...eeeeee perfect

sometimes we go together
like sunscreen & salad

one thinks: can I live without you
the other: can I love without you

I stop writing
you stop painting
bed becomes our world

sometimes we go together
like chlorine & chips

everything seems possible
until you want a baby

we break up
21 times in two years
we’re mature about it now

when people ask if I’m single
I say I have a current ex-girlfriend

sometimes we go together
like a futon in a swimming pool

how can we  just be friends
when every time we meet
you get hard  I get wet
& afterwards, we have an argument

sometimes I think about us
but mostly I have a song loop in my head
