#down-to-earth
I want something other than ****
with the short shorts showing
everything
the low-cut crop top
exploring eyes wander over
on countless evenings
my imagination having nothing
left
I want smokey flannel
a two-day-old pony tail
boots stained by the dirt and grass
a hole in your jeans
that wasn't there when you found them
I want hungover-fastfood-drive-throughs
with my shorts and your tank top
wrinkled from your floor
your hair still wet from the morning shower
I want leggings, a t-shirt
and a backwards ball cap
while we sing loudly out the open window
tapping the dashboard off-beat
hand raised fingers pointing at the moon
laughing at the man that sits watching us drive

I couldn't believe my eyes
that bright shining light
what was that thing anyway?
It came and went so fast
unexpected
and disappeared behind those trees
Did anyone else see it
or was I the only one
a strange thing happened
As if the lights weren't enough
and the glowing clouds
two creatures emerged
The first's head was purple
shaped like a tomato
had ears of a kangaroo
Strange, but a true story
I just wish I knew
if anyone else saw it too
