Sit by the tennis courts,
watch for love to win or lose or give up;
maybe have a book on hand so you can lie and say,
“no no, only reading a book.”

The author's comments:
Just a short poem based on the book by Marguerite Duras of the same title, which I highly recommend reading as it is short (about 60ish pages) and yet it is one of the best books I have ever read.
