Two kid-adults

The star-planet is straight above
Two kid-adults on a trampoline.
Side-by-side they watch the sky
At one a.m. on the months eve
Quietly, they're waiting, staring
As time tosses and turns between
The adult-kids who prep like vets
For the other kid-adult to leave
They lay solemn side-by-side
Distanced by a lack of sleep
They make their vows on satellites 
Shooting stars, and falling wings
Today-tomorrow, when they wake
They'll find their voice on everything
But tonight, they're kid-adults
Side-by-side on a trampoline
