all systems go
we got dressed up
to play scattegories with strangers.
she painted her fingernails red,
and tested the different shades on my pinkie.
we drove to the city, and the rain came pouring down.
my windshield wipers were broken -
headlights flashed past.
all of the warnings were of drunk drivers,
luckily we did not meet one.
we danced in the kitchen, without music.
someone made brownies,
someone else ate five cupcakes.
the ball dropped, and the fireworks went off.
we are safe right now.
