fire snakes

My summer vacation that left me feeling faded
I want no part of the crowds and no part of the mayhem
just feel like drinking a bottle of wine in a graveyard
appreciating the dead for their silence
and their well-maintained lawns.

If anything we are all older and it's a shame that he met me then
the beginning, messy middle, and end of inflation
and time moves so slowly when you're trying to spend it,
more slowly than money can stay stuck in my fingers.

Late night heart talks mean more than this does.
The ability to speak without speaking
and the cliches that fall out of my mouth when I do.

Paid $12 for the Ferris Wheel last night to show Kim the skyline
and hello, visa, what you knowing?
I've come to watch your interest growing.
