something finite
a red couple
on a brown bench
in a green park
in a blue world
in a black universe
she whispers
into his mind
and a mockingbird
does that for which
it got its name
the girl twirls
a fiery poppy
(which is all she is)
the boy buzzes
a blade of crabgrass
(which is all he is)
the mockingbird swims
through the skywater
(which is all it is)
on a brown bench
in a green park
in a blue world
in a black universe
she whispers
into his mind
