ROMANCE Poem: Pavement Paramore, by Kyle Gacusana

Play that song for me
The one we heard dodging cars on the highway
It sounded like brake lights and low beams
Choking on exhaust plumes and picking kicked up gravel from your hair
Surrounded by a symphony of a city
I sang a serenade in an off key harmony
And you danced like a lamb freshly fallen from the womb
The audience laughed in whispers and the streetlights spotlit our encore
