you, me sunscreen lines hot concrete public pool wasps clinging to hazy poles supporting scratched-up waterslides that made us scream: both the slides and the wasps but we always laughed it off in the end. when we sit down the sunset will follow. i hope we do it all over again, tomorrow... pretzel cup cheese-induced teenage chlorine dreams the summer i turned fifteen i thought you i thought we were everything

pretzel cheese
This is the perfect time to write I’m right at the end of 25 years on this planet Sitting in a bar at 3:14 pm on a cold Thursday in January, 2021 I’ve had a bad day So I decided driving by this bar that I was gonna stop and have a drink because that’s what I needed today So far I was right I ordered a angry orchard on an empty stomach and drank the first half really quickly so I’d get that good buzz really quickly the nice bartender, an older lady asked me if wanted food so I asked for a menu because, why not? I’m broker than ever and can’t really afford to be doing what I’m doing right now but what’s an extra 6.99 on pretzel sticks with beer cheese? It’s beer cheese for heavens sake. when the going gets tough, the tough get going to get a good drink on tap I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time I get lucky I guess My whole life has been built on me Completely on me to decide where I’m gonna go and how my life is going to look That’s kind of scary honestly that my life and my sons life relies completely on my shoulders I can’t ***** up I can’t give up So we will just keep going
