The Cure is the go-to daydream
What we tell ourselves while entwined
in the arms of a lover in a Queen size bed
to calm the “what ifs” circulating in the quiet
If we keep calling its name
The Cure The Cure
maybe one day it will hear us
If my future hypothetical grandchildren
were to roll their eyes at the thousandth telling
of The Cure story around the campfire
I’d die happy, for they’d only known a better world.
