You and I
Quixotic to a fault —
Fighting sleep on the drive to Vegas
(Trusting that a win’ll save us).

You and I
Quixotic in love —
We designed rings from braided threads
And claimed our faith until we’re dead.

You and I
Quixotic ‘til we weren’t
(The results were unfulfilling
After Elvis left the building).
