as the sun lays to rest in the blankets of the Indianan lake,

as small raindrops (or tears?) fall from above to grace the “different kind of heat,”

as a slow song no one knows, plays itself through the buzzy speakers, with fireworks in the distance,

as everyone holds onto their love,

I can’t help but not caring what they say about me loving you.
I can’t help but want to be the one swaying and laughing in your arms.
And I don’t really mind.
O.K

Sweet and salty kettlecorn shrapnel
Scatters a falsely ocean-colored carpetscape;
Heavy corn casualties at 0100 over Indianan waters.
I could dive through
One of the murky stains and
Chip the rest of my fingernails
Along the portal away from persecution.
At least I'm not biting them from fear,
But fingernails should hold their
**** keratin when
You're trying to wind each neural pathway
Back to where they were six months ago.
I'll try to scrape as much oddness out
As I can with these jagged edges
And consume sweet and salt
In my scattered, corn-filled ocean mirage.
One night of free Boom Chicka Pop later...
