So easily I forgot lifting
The sandbox in Arizona and catching
The geckos and keeping them as pets and
On Halloween candies, jack o'lantern, their tails would fall
Clear from their bodies
And we'd shriek and we'd run
Keep on playing
Playing
My sister
She is with me
Even when we are apart
We were wading through the water
Flashlights flickering in the dark
Climbing the laundry poles
In the tomato garden
Spying on all the neighbors swimming
Laughing
We were laughing
That night
In Maine I met my best friend
Talking 'til 7 A.M
Realizing we're both afraid of the notion
Of having our brains be in the body of a whale
In the ocean, deep
Where the light don't reach
And I loved him instantly
I knew we could keep talking
Talking
