And if we ever fight, always remember this:

Girl Coming In for a Landing

by April Halprin Wayland

“Big Argument with Leslie”

Arguing

Is strange.

The thing we are climbing

Becomes B R I T T L E.

One of us falls,

Then the other,

Shouting

As we drop.

Angrily

Blaming,

Loud;

Deaf.

In falling,

In the darkness,

At least there are

Words

Shouted up–

At least we are glaring

Into each other’s

Eyes

At least

We are trying

To crash into each other

As we fall.
