huh

you know, i usually assume
that i'm waiting for a shiny
sparkly fireworks-sort of
love
and all is well and good
(maybe not well, but all is
at least good) with that kind
the kind that makes me feel
ill in the happiest way
and makes my eyes spin
until i can only see rainbow sprinkles

but then i open my eyes to the idea
of forever
which looks a hell of a lot more like salad than
rainbow sprinkles
but it feels better in your stomach than
rainbow sprinkles too
and it was there all along

huh. i wonder if there's a chance
that's what getting married is like
like analyzing mariners data
or harry potter at [the place where he is]
oh yeah
i'm wondering if it wouldnt be good for me
not as exciting
but good
to hear about the huskies day in and day out
or try to stump each other
oh yeah
i remember now
