Tell me the difference between
the time it takes to swallow a café mocha latte
mixed with the laugh of your friends sitting around you
and the time it takes to get home before curfew
infused with the current dream boat of you and the girls
Find the difference in the taste of
a strawberry vanilla bean coolatta
And the girl riding shot gun’s lip gloss
Or the latest diet trends soda
And the original thing
Feel the difference in each twins hands
The older tighter grip but always extended
The younger softer and covered in motor oil
Instruments held by the hands
Sing different songs with the same cords
Taste the air around each friend
As they explain to you their feelings towards
The twins and their friends
As they spin around in circles in the front yard
Due to the promised jolt of caffeine
But one day
Remember that the girls
Who exchanged feelings through clips and glances
Laugh at how they acted
But know they wanted more then you could see
How does laughter sound
when the jokes grow old
and all the words are said
but jokes keep following you down to the corner store
Can you taste the difference
in each of your friends drinks
in the girl riding shotguns lip gloss
and the feeling for wanting more
