music by explosions in the sky

her thoughts gathered in a swaying sort of motion between her lips and the sweat
drop
falling from his upper lip onto hers when the gap between them was nonexistent

not wanting to smoother her with the news that he
lost his job

in his backpocket

he showed her how much she meant to him,
using a half dollar coin, he reached behind her ear

"times infinity"

her tough pink nails dug into his back

the transition to adulthood made them sleepy,
so instead she took his hand as he met her eyes with a weary expression

hoping they weren't too late in catching the last bus from here to restless ideologies.
