The day was hot and anticipating
We got ready all day
I got ready all of a month.
Why?
Because you would be there.
You, that boy who could rock a guitar
You, were the best drummer I'd ever seen
You, I'd had a crush on you since 6th grade
We sang songs and talked about music

All four of us went
my friends and
I in an aqua tank and shorts
I straightened her hair
and left mine natural

We listened to music.
Beautiful music.
A night of sticky
picnic blankets
and warm clingy grass
and peace and harmony

And ever since the end,
of that night
I've been preparing myself
For this years
Jam.
Sweet anticipation
I can't wait to see you
again
at the
Summer Jam
