The Relationship

When the relationship pulls in
all young hopefuls step out
one boy immediately puts his sunglasses on
because of that coal in the sky

as if a bonfire party went horribly wrong
and to verify this newfound sultriness
a girl watches her grapefruit melt in her hand
she squeaks and clutches her forehead and faints

has strange nightmares of bamboo fields, Nightingale the Robber, a flash of Pan
the boy with the glasses - now a puddle of molasses - pushes her hair back and checks her temperature -185
he lifts her up and carries her off into the jungle
and when she awakes the next day falls directly In love

the nightingale effect - check your sources!
Meanwhile, the ships captain, a young man himself
busies himself writing messages in the sand
like “Help! We need somebody help! Not just anybody”
and a girl with bright red lipstick and an enchanting amount of eye makeup reads it and begins to enquire
but accidentally drops her suitcase on his foot

he leaps in the air and howls with pain
she apologizes profusely, but pleads insanity, due to loneliness - he empathizes - naturally -explaining he’d been frozen accidentally for 13 years - a cold war experiment gone horribly wrong - so he takes her hand and promises her nomoreloneliness - and in return she promises him nomorefrozenness - and they discover as they walk the way new lovers do

 along a quiet path
that they've begun talking, and much to their delight, forget the heatwave, forget why they’re walking, the long journey in, and love each other so much it's shocking
