I watched a couple kiss at Randolph Street
And wondered why that shouldn't have been us.
We are as capable of such a feat,
As they are, and I love to hold you, thus,
As he does now to her. Why are not we
Entwined together in a joint embrace
Oblivious to all the world, and free
Of all the busy worries that erase
The happiness that they, together, share?
Why are we not, as blissfully as they,
Turtled together as a loving pair,
Ignoring all that anyone might say
About us? Why, in short, are you so far
From me? But hush. I know well why you are.
