"The Four Sevens" by Anonymous

The girl is in the car.

She’s on the way home from school.

Her phone is in her pocket.

She looks out the window

And wonders:

Is he thinking of her?

The boy is talking.

He’s laughing with his friends.

His phone is in his pocket.

He stares into space

And wonders:

Is she thinking of him?

And throughout the day,

Four different thoughts

over the time change.

is she still asleep?

is he already awake?

is she still awake?

is he already asleep?

Their thoughts

Entwined

Holding on to one another.
