there's nothing like young love
you see it everywhere
but no one looks at them
as if they weren't there

geometry, astronomy
bodies in orbit

sitting hand in hand
spinning 'round the hall
closer to the ground
no way they can fall

geometry, astronomy
bodies in orbit

when we look at love
we use a narrow lens
the pictures we see
never show us them

sitting in their chairs
moving on their wheels
drawn by gravity
the force of what they feel

geometry, astronomy
bodies in orbit
