Ivan Jenson


Two of a Kind


you are standing
within my boundaries
in my comfort zone
and my personal space
you wear my shirt
we talk with shared inflection
share pet names
fave songs and weekends
this is our same ol' scene
and we are going steady
as a Norwegian cruise ship
we might one day become
sun-burnt seniors holding
hands in lazy chairs
with kids and grand kids
running around the
blue pool of time
I get this feeling
we might
just make it
till death do us part
