i aint got no money
but we can shove each other into the pool fully clothed.
or we can kiss each other with smoke tasting breath
and we can watch those bugs devour that tree
we can play truth or dare until four am, when you fall asleep wearing my *******
or we can walk around town for a while and i can listen to you remember things.
i can put some music on and you can swing me around
when it gets more chilly, i can pinch your ******* through your shirt
we could count my freckles.
that would keep us occupied for hours.
i could write you poems
and you could listen to me read them to you
you could read me lord of the rings.

i could cook you tofu
and you could show me some of your favorite songs
even if they make me want to throw up, kind of.
we could get sunburned together
i could tell you jokes about dinosaurs.
(what do you get when dinosaurs crash their cars?
tyranosaurus wrecks)
i could tell you about my favorite christmases.
or can we please just pack a picnic to eat on the carpet of my room
pretending that it's not actually raining outside.
I'd like to learn how to say i love you in different languages.
we could lay in that patch of wildflowers next to the grocery store on Rice Street.
i've always wanted to do that.
