Letting Us Be
Paul Curreri

The summer air's as thick as gossip,nOr asbestos in a closet,nBut your hair feels as soft as mine.nYou skip to match our feetnAs we're skimming down the street --nThe smallest army of all time.nYes sir, yes sir...nnThere ain't crossing nothing sweeternThan the keep out of the theater --nLift the velvet rope, now lift it for me.nI catch a glimpse of your personanOn the piano in the corner.nNow we're swinging from the chandelier.nnAnd I'm letting you be; and I'll never let you be.nAnd you'll let me be; you'll never let me be.nnThe lighted hearts of certain buddies,nAnd the mattress with the money --nGreat many things have gone or changed.nBut we give before we know we've got it,nAnd as we kiss with something constant,nYou call my name; I call God's name, I'll call it...nnTux and gown pour from some cathedral,nAnd a laughing group of people --nOur army pulls a quick ten hut.nA sleepy premonitionn(The echo of tradition):nWe can do whatever we want.nnLike letting you be; and never let you be.nAnd you'll let me be; you'll never let me be.nnThe world seems open as to whethernWe should lean together --nTwo candles melting into one wax.nSeems our roads have long existednAs two wicks that have been twisted.nThink I'll love you till it all goes blacknAll black, black, black...nnBoth hulabaloo and silent,nCity bus and cut-off island,nBoth picture flash and water to boil,nBoth rabbit fur and diamond,nBoth of monster and of child,nOur days coil and uncoil.nnAs I'm letting you be, but never let you be.nAnd as you let me be -- thank god! -- you never let me be.
