Life is a story that you

Cite,

Write,

And leave behind.

A manuscript from which you

Pick and choose.

Rhymes are not required.

Don't let punctuation

Dictate your decisions.

Analogies are

At your disposal.

So they were sitting at midnight

Side by side

On the bench seat pull-out bed

Of any RV.

He read,

She wrote.

A glance over her shoulder and

His gaze was

Fixed upon her iPad's screen,

Light set at

Night vision and dark mode.

I am not like most,

She whispered.

And he fell.
