If This Were a Movie
Brandon Cook
If this were a movie we would have looked, both of us, at each other, at the exact same moment
But as it was
I looked, and you were looking out the window
I was laughing because the man on the radio was so absurd
On film, we would have turned towards each other like dancers in rhyme
And time would have been split open like a piece of fruit for us to chew on
Instead, I looked back at the road, smiling something which quickly faded to a sigh
Thinking about how much of life is timing
