godel's theorem

it's best to run
as fast as you can when it's rainin'
like hell outside, won't get as wet.

to which she responded-
that's the dumbest statement ever,
in fact, it's borderline absurd.

think about it!
evasive maneuvers means less raindrops,
less wet.

she smiled-
hon, that makes no sense.
run faster one encounters more raindrops.

kicking off sneakers, reaching for her zipper...
care to test out your theory
in the shower?- she chuckled.

she zigged! he zagged!
he cheated, cutting through the kitchen.
she went the long way 'round.
ouch!
shit!
stupid vacuum cleaner!
breathless,
you coming? flung over his shoulder.
laughing so hard she's crying.
limping.

banshee hair flying
falling through the bathroom doorway.
his eyes shining in sweet victory
i love you loser, he whispered,
scooping her off the floor.
