accounted for musically but like torsion of the hips – a three part junction of ball, cartilage and socket – we rock back and forth on chairs. the bell will ring and we will be free. in the lunchroom we practise the do-si-do, walking, skipping around almost turning in a three point certainty of how certain car horns in rainy weather sounded in succession begin to sing. we wouldn’t know in this seventh year of drought. back to back, childhood laps around us, humming. after school in the backyard, we are tiny arrows touching being touched, eucalyptus shoots invading the taller trees, ready at any moment to explode in the rigid dry heat. teetering on the latent side of sex – we refuse to use the word, as desire, nothing is a bigger bonbon over the tongue. and we let it slide over our baby white teeth. three points, you, me and the sticky yellow candy.
