Autumn Rendezvous Valentine

When Mars and Venus get together
They don’t talk about us kids
Though Mars is a talker and rants
 
Around the rooms and hallways
Led by his flailing arms
While Venus gets more comfortable
 
Curled up on the couch
Pretending not to be listening
Until at one point he lifts her
 
Into his arms and we here
On earth feel strangely exhilarated
And suspiciously joyful
 
For a few hours or a whole day
But it’s too good to be true we say
They will never make it
