Do you remember when we saw the Milky Way
Looking up at the night from your father’s cornfield
We were too far north for tick checks
Wading under the bridge
Minnows eating dead skin off our toes
While hornets buzzed at the banks
Shooting guns at old VCRs and broken microwaves
Laying on our backs on the grass
We watched his Fourth of July fireworks
The embers landing in our hair
And when the smoke cleared
The Milky Way, again
