Spring is in the Air

about the vanishing of borders. Ruben Aubrecht was artist in

I’m twenty-seven,

she’s seventeen.

“Blind Cupid,

lame Cupid,

both blind and lame Cupid

said, Love this girl,”

I was going to write;

I couldn’t say it

but still can!

But if

it rained,

if the lines I wrote got swamped,

if I have twenty-five cents left in my pocket,

what the hell…

Hey, spring is here spring is here spring

spring is here!

My blood is budding inside me!
