from Tales from the Bad Years
FEMALE
Pear trees bloom for two weeks in April.
Do you think we can last that long?
MALE
How many days to go
Until we hit that slow
BOTH
Let go, going, gone?
While the blossoms still cling to their branches
FEMALE
While the leaves still beam lemon green
BOTH
While we don’t know any better
FEMALE
Let’s say
BOTH
There’s no space in between.
FEMALE
The trees are always
BOTH
White.
It’s springtime forever
MALE
Or at least for one more night.
BOTH
And if we hold hands when we sleep,
We can dream the same dream.
There’s no space here at all in between.
In between.
FEMALE
Grab your bike.
We’re crossing the East River.
All the bikes make the bridges sway.
MALE
What do we know of June?
It’s Sunday afternoon.
BOTH
Ride with me and pray.
There’s no space in between.
FEMALE
The trees are always
BOTH
White.
It’s springtime forever
Or at least for one more night.
And if we hold hands when we sleep,
We can dream the same dream.
There’s no space here at all in between.

Tell me, dear, if you caught my spring fever.

Do you feel like you’re seventeen?

FEMALE
Do you think that maybe somewhere, somehow
There’s no space in between?
The trees are always
BOTH
White.
It’s springtime forever
Or at least for one more night.
And if we hold hands when we sleep,
We can dream the same dream.
There’s no space here at all in between.
