It would be nice to think that somewhere out there
things are working out for the other you and the other me
here on this bench I sit with sadness
while somewhere over there we are together and happy
surrounded by a blue light
so I should take some comfort then
for while you and I are not together
and while we stand at the end of a dead end end street in the dark
somewhere over there out there anywhere
we walk along a different street
we are walking each other home
to our kitchen that could be yellow
with morning light
to our rooms full of books
to our bed
where we sleep
as a king and a queen would
whose kingdom
is small yet perfect.
