Her and Him
 
But for Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn,
the story is always about her and him---
how they met, what they said, how 'it' happened---
and the her or him who later came in between,
the story is always about her and him
 

But for Frenchy Jules and the German Jim

the story is always about her and him

how love breached their rock-hearts, they reckoned,

and the new love that later wedged in between,

the story is always about her and him

 

No love-lore on Wilde nor on Wystan Auden

For the story is never about him and him

For there the World always comes in between,

the story is always about her and him.
