independence day


Cheap shit. 
Won’t last one season. 


Bugs love me. 


I live in a part of Dallas
Called Oak Cliff
Which was once known for
Being THE place to live 
And is now undergoing
Gentrification. 
They steal your car. 
They shoot guns. 
They mean business. 
They love their fireworks. 
I usually try to leave out
But this year it isn’t bothering me. 
Hmmmmm wonder why? 




I get to plant my babies this week. 
Out the old dirt in the garden. 
Does dirt get old? 
I mean- 
It’s like a million years old already.

I spend all day Friday 
Thinking it was Saturday. 
I even wore my firecrackers scrubs. 
So now it’s really July 4th. 
Not Independence. 
We can’t really say we have that. 
Not yet.
