Schools of Life

You went to your universities
rehearsing your autobiographies
and
we are still as different as
chalk and cheese
I suppose you'll know 
a chemical symbol 
for those,
but
I wrote the writing to spend one more night in
her arms,
she left the light on to write me a love song
and
you don't need a degree for that.
