for you to fall I drifted out
over the low hills of expectation
the narrow ridges of disappointment
just offstage while you sang and sang
your heart out in that year’s competition
so much life is just about to happen
and then doesn’t or does too weakly
to resemble Heckle and Jeckle
the original odd couple
to make us laugh at ourselves
we go for a healthy walk
then cash in the calories burned
on an ice cream cone
on the way home
