Keep Them Apart Janet Kuypers 03/02/10 - 04/02/10 they say headlights run in parallel lines the never touch but you know, when humans try to recreate science they never get it right and i don’t care how many miles it takes i don’t care how long it takes but eventually they will touch they will cross they will intermingle for one brief moment you think they’re meant to stay apart you think you’ve done everything humanly possible to keep them apart but they’ll come together trust me it doesn’t matter where that car is traveling to Colorado, through Utah to California to Las Vegas even through Texas, past New Orleans it doesn’t matter if we have to kick people out of your home it doesn’t matter if we have to act like nothing’s going on because at some point, no matter how far away no matter how remote we’ll get together even if it’s only to cross each other then go or separate ways Copyright © 2010 Janet Kuypers.
