Giggle

i think sometimes 
of the thoughts you have 
and i think i know how you think 
somewhere in there 
you think like i do 
and even you 
have to admit 
not much in time has passed 
two elbows next together on a swing 

  heads forward and with each other  

  tilted back in a laugh  

  heels scraping sand on the way back  

adult old and all that 

  then 

the chin comes in  

  for another push below the knees  

Puh-lease 
as if we never got that 
thank god the sky's got enough blue 
to catch me & you 
in the swivel of a giggle 
a back and forth 
no one else knew 
chains and wood for a seat 
under the sound that comes before a laugh
