Constructive Interference

Caffeine and words, my drugs of choice
I watch you across the way
You toss, to me, a crooked smile
Say we’ll meet someday,

Out along the road of life
Some corner coffee joint
I say, last night, we did it all
So what is the point,

I’ve got your cell phone number
The texture of your skin
I know the things that turn your on
Your outside, your in,

You the same for me, I guess
Now strangers, like before
Your perfume in me lingers
As you click the outside door,

A sip of morning coffee
A scribbled note or two
What were we seeking
As we did what we do?

Even now I touch my tongue
Imagine the delight
Constructive Interference
Compressed into one night,

So I tap the cell phone button
A voice says you’re not there
I close my eyes and think
Life’s not safe nor fair,

But such a grand adventure
A romp in the rain
Grand delight, ecstasy
Depression and pain,

All here for the choosing
A smorgasbord delight
Under morning sun
Or bed-side light,

Physics note:
Constructive Wave Interference: During any wave interference the shape of the medium is determined by the sum of the separate amplitudes of each wave. When waves interfere, amplitudes add.
