Cat and Rabbit

We don’t hold hands when we go into town. Oh, no, Never that close Always on opposite sides of the street Always at eye’s length. You smile And I smile— we’re smiling actors in a play we didn’t want to perform.

But you and me are we And these people can’t see What it means to be Really, truly free Until We Meet.

Silence. You brush my shoulder. You smell like the jasmine perfume I gave you for our anniversary. Our eyes meet and the world stops to stare. Not today, you whisper, and we’re Apart Once more.
