snooze

I could always sleep for a few moments

more

when we would

lay in the grass

imagining our bright beautiful futures

all dreaming the same dream

not like they told us

now

the writers selling insurance

teachers flipping houses

all living in the same world we grew up in

we get drunk together

talk about how it

was

all wanting to be fooled again
