Falling in love is having a secret

that only the two of you share

An inside joke

A smile across a crowded room

Holding hands on a Ferris wheel

Laughing about the whole affair

This is the ninth poem of my personal 30-day poetry challenge to break away from the machine to think about things that don’t matter. I have no idea what I’m doing. – Jim
