my little big town
August 17, 2021
while you’re stuck watching friday night football,
showing someone new the creaks of your floorboard,
and seeing how much beer five dollars can get you,
i will be sitting on a roof with my person—singing until the burn in our throats is unbearable.
we’ll admire the abandoned buildings with bansky-inspired art strewn on the walls
and steal trinkets we find downtown to add to our wunderkammer.
in my little big town,
the only thing we have is time
and the only choice we have
is how we spend it.
