We drove all night to the beach
taking turns sleeping against jackets balled up for a pillow
We walked miles up the side of a mountain
getting there just before dark, greeted by owls and a half moon
We waited in line for hours for concert tickets
leaning against a wall and sitting on a concrete sidewalk
back when getting them in person was the only way to get a seat
It has always been the two of us:
the wind at our backs, or in our faces
because happiness is in the wind
