That reassuring
mutual
Clasp of each one's
hands ...
I'm all alone again ...
And you are back to work
again ...
We had our fleeting spell
When both
our Solitudes
had found each other
Lit by the sparkling
fireworks of laughter
At each other's jokes -
Those jokes were so pure,
Just as they were so bad !
"I'm broke !"-you said twice ...
And I said nothing ...
Yet cracked another one
of my bad jokes -
at this, I thought,
I was the best !
But suddenly,
within two seconds,
You parred
sardonic mood of mine
with your, no less than excellent, bad joke !
What were those jokes about ? -
About ourselves, I guess ! - We laughed together
Tossing gloomy bits of humour
at each other ...
How funny, my Claudette,
and just a little sad
When two lonely Solitudes
each other's soulmate met !
