String Theory

There's such a thing as string theory:

The invisible string that keeps the defense moving in sync at hockey games,

The harmonic vibrations of your guitar,

The way my body is thrumming to the natural frequency of yours.

I came here seeking no favors.

I came here to snap the cords of tension.

I've come here so you could reel me in.

So you could pull the strings of your blinds shut

this rainy afternoon,

So we could get tangled and knotted

in that eternal heart string binding first love.
