Tip-Tap
A girl
Meets a boy.
They talk after class.
They go to college together.
They live 20 minutes apart.
He pays for dinner.
She buys him a watch.
The families meet.
It is dark and snowy.
He asks a question.
Her father agrees.
The mother’s excitement, the father’s pride,
Chattering at a church,
A limo pulls up.
Paparazzi flashes pictures.
White flowers, white shoes.
An organ plays.
She walks, he smiles.
They kiss.
