Love Poem: Walking Distance

Walking Distance

In the early gray dawn
Of phosphorescent madness
Let's get married!
The church is steps 
From the playground
I'll kiss you with my beads 
Around our necks.
We will be bounded
By plastic, colorful love.
We are two 6-year-old boys
And we don't give a hoot
Over why the sun is so bright.
The next thought in our head 
Arrives from the brilliant green trees
High, high overhead.
