"Smiles for Miles"
You had smiles for miles

and you gave me bloom like a spring child and one day you curled your tongue into a somersault
to speak my name in riddles
lightly against the wind

The past principle and particles of
vowel tense and consonants all
coalesce in
rhetorical nonsense
like how your resistance
in theory
is an affront to our synchronicity
we have our own frequency
modulation
our own spoken, verbal fragments
of atmospheric communication

Riding along the static
and breathing out your ethereal vapors
it's my aroma therapy

And you had smiles for miles
like a child in bloom
and then you curled your tongue into a somersault
to speak my name in riddles
sounding me out
lightly against the wind

Your gaze is like a green light, a florescent glow
or like an ebb and flow
of chemical reactions
I'm measuring out your intentions
and waving away the fumes
of my insecurity
weighing the possibility
that our eyes would meet like close friends
to share secrets neither of us could comprehend
or defend

If I could change your mood
if I could pull away your nerves and muscle tendons
your connective tissue

And I gave you smiles for miles
I hope you catch bloom like a spring child
and one day I'll curl my tongue into a somersault
to guess the riddle of your name
lightly against the wind

Now if I could change your mood
if I could pull you along the static
and share a frequency with you

If I could change your mood
if I could adjust your amplitude
modulation
because you're never out of range
when you have smiles
for miles ... and miles
and miles
