  A Boy and a Girl
  
  Stretched out on the grass
  a boy and a girl.
  Savoring their oranges, giving their kisses
  likes waves exchanging foam.
  
  Stretched out on the beach
  a boy and a girl.
  Savoring their limes, giving their kisses
  like clouds exchanging foam.
  
  Stretched out underground
  a boy and girl.
  Saying nothing, never kissing
  giving silence for silence.
