10 to 3,
one too many,
heart to heart,
back to back,
crack to crack,
so to speak.
me to you,
hard to tell
you to go,
when to leave.
so two ponder,
as two do,
what to do,
if to (blank),
(yours to fill).
two to tango,
soup to nuts,
one-two-three,
start to finish.
what’s to say?
who’s to know?
you to me,
“got to go.”

“If to count
or let it go”

I kinda like this “odds” piece; it’s kinda catchy, but needs a happy ending. 🙂
It is happy. The last line is unsaid:
Again to-morrow? 🙂

OH…it seems like she is telling him that he has got to go.
Ambiguity is sometimes good. In my mind it is his place, in yours …? Who’s to say? —–Chagall
I think this is why some people are not comfortable with poetry. It is not specific enough and they are wishing for definitive information.
But, we express for the joy of it and therefore we shall. 🙂
This plays like a song in my head, and in my thoughts I dance to them with an imaginary partner in a strange shuffling step.
A two step? —–Chagall
Your words fall in rhythm to that. But in my vain attempt, it becomes more like dragging feet and toe stepping collision. Perhaps I should find a way to shorten the name of that dance step.
Whack the first syllable of each line – you might find it there.—–Chagall
… or the first syllable of each second line, if you need more space on the dance floor. —–Chagall
