Communion Interlude: A Pantoum

The night is young and there is nowhere else to go,

So the girl hops in a cab and says, "Drive."

The boy sits in his car, stuck in traffic, with the radio way up loud,

Existing between the words of old love songs.



The girl hops in a cab and says, "Drive,"

Feeling a sense of urgency she can't pinpoint: the last chance?

Existing between the words of old love songs,

She's been losing herself.



She feels a sense of urgency she can’t pinpoint -- her last chance.

She's been losing herself,

And he's been losing his faith, long days blurring into long nights.

If only they could touch, this boy and girl might ignite the whole world.



He's been losing his faith, long days blurring into long nights.

Now he's sitting in his car again, stuck in traffic, radio way up loud.

Soon, with just one touch, boy and girl are going to ignite the whole world.

Because the night is young and there's nowhere else for them to go but



Toward.
