hay yellow farm on the outskirts of Pigeon Forge
we sat in '94
sun shining
our dark hair glistening
drinking homemade moonshine out of now 50% bigger dixie cups
it ate right through the paperplastic and
right through our stomach linings
as we pretended to act adults
naming frogs after star wars characters
and fighting over the computer lego pieces
while even division never crossed our minds
last year i pretended to act an adult
sitting on the front porch of a house whos owner i'd never meet
and boyfriend i'd sometimes kiss
drinking 5 o'clock out of an ice mountain bottle
burning my throat and memory
the moon shining and my long hair everywhere
but last night i gained some maturity
i composed a formal letter
header and sincerely
offering you a solution and a reward
stamped and
mailed it to 3 weeks ago where it would find you
backed into a corner
there is a huge difference between pretending to act like an adult, and being forced into it
