Everything Else Falls Away

Janet Kuypers
for the 10/3/12 show with the HA!man of South Africa
started 6/21/12, finished 6/24/12

When you don’t have a car,
dating someone in the next state
seems like a Universe away.

Or if you date someone
on the other side of the country
and every visit’s an airplane trip,

you know your romantic hopes
won’t stand a chance
and will fly away in the breeze.

I dated someone from another country once,
and the last time we were together
they strangled me before I could escape —

so don’t you tell me for a second
that long-distance relationships
are always wonderfully romantic.

Only rarely do you find that special someone.
Only that is when no distance is too great
and you’d travel around the world for love.

When you find that special someone,
that is when you can communicate
beyond the information superhighway

and everything else falls away.
