The Perfect Evening











On an evening such as this
We stood at the rooftop
Him with me
She with him,
Only,
Them, they were holding hands
With occasional smooching and cheek pecking
We watched them be happy
While we smoked on some grass.
Then the sun set
The beauty of the universe
As it rubbed directly at our intrigued faces.

On an evening such as this
The stars shone with such radiance
Like skylarking five year olds
We fought to scream at the first appearance
Counted one to ten to twenty… to a hundred
Till they were too many for count
Sighed… the exhilaration
Then, we just stared
In silence
One by one as they appeared
All at once as the clouds swallowed them
They kissed goodnight
We waved goodbye
And called it a night.
