The string and the kite.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The string and the kite.

If I let the string go on my kite, it would blow in the wind day and night, wherever I should find it. The wind was there too, and I guess that's why I love you. I found you, too. I guess our love is like the wind; wherever you go, I always win. That's why I always carry this silly grin. I love the feel of your soft skin. The scent of your perfume has to be a sin. Now I look, and there are the twins. Let's all spend the night at the inn.
