summerlove

I completely have spring fever. It's a dire case. Inspired by the joyous arrival of spring and how it melts into summer, I wrote a poem for my friends. "Poem" being a loose term but whatevz.

i am so happy right now
scenes of summer
swim in (and in) my
little
head
just stupid
cobblestoned between
love and art and love
new york
new york
new york
i seeeeeeeee you
hiding
was fun while
the leaves fell
but now it's the sun and
seek
(found)
grass smiling at me through my toes
spilled some juice on my (eh, probs your) cutoffs
typical
flowers falling in our hair
determined laugh lines deepen
gifted for a future time
if we need a reminder
eyes squint
hands over brows
ow, my legs are hot
let’s move to the shade, big red
oh my godddddddd the wind
feels
so
good
sunscreen is so fucking expensive
in the city
let’s split it
but our freckles
bump with the bass
as we dance in the dark
arms over heads
hands reach into clouds
and shuffle dreams around
check check check
what’s next?
OMG what?! stop laughing at me
bia
let’s make up a world
over brunch
