And the morning’s enthusiasm
And you were still dozing
You smiled at me and we hugged
_____
I put on the Boy Azooga record for you
Its heart-pounding mood infected us
With that unfathomable happiness
Of what you know is eternal
_____
Of Austin amid a thousand concerts
_____
The Nude Party, I Know Leopard
We drank cans of Lone Star
We froze the brightest instant
_____
In a photo booth
With their verses on both of us
_____
And we started to dance
_____
Because the gods dance
_____
Back at the Airbnb, exhausted
_____
And I sang us lovers’ songs
_____
And we started to dance
