Literature Text

They laugh, holding hands like good friends
(though they barely know each other)
covered in dopey smiles,
and walk toward the horizon.

The fight is behind them
('fight' is a relative term)
and life is peachy keen tarts from here
on out.

But instead of music,
unease crescendos.
But instead of names,
uncertainty fades in.

They continue to hold hands,
sweaty palms slipping like fish,
Until suddenly they are apart.

Though nothing had changed,
the movie has begun again.

Very descriptive writing!
I like how you describe life as a movie playing in a loop.
