Further Sun

I remember subtle differences.

Girls singing big-tit lullabies,
kneeling by the bed,
cupping their breasts in prayer.

Hips thrusting towards conversation.

Boys wasting their time.
Tiny hairs mounting their top lip
like side-burn discharge.

Newspapers read of a girl strangled
by a man. Somewhere in Northern, Indiana.
Overnight, 1999 grew cold.

Novelty became a tough act to follow.

I remember pay-per-views with Grandma,
a bowl of popcorn between us.

Time seemed frozen, the jukebox on quarantine.

Chad, really dig this!

Glad to see that when you're not driving under semi trailers, you're updating your site.
