it was 99 degrees so
tamar and i took
5 shots of tequila each
and lied down on
asphalt that was 99 degrees hotter
199 degrees
watching clouds
melt into each other
like they were
scenes from an old black and white
movie and singing songs
about jesus
until god's tears began to
fall down on us.

as in tamar from the bible. i'm not a religious person by any means so this is my first attempt at writing something even remotely related to the bible or any holy book for that matter.
