August Free Styling, #6

It's a Black Keys and Pixies
kind of summer
and I haven't seen too many
cicada killers around lately
Take me on the boat
one more time so I can see
goosebumps cover my brown skin
But he doesn't call
like he used to and I guess
"It is what it is,"
(Or was what it was?)
My mind seems to
be doing okay these days
One life ends soon after
a new one begins.

Follow me to Southern Cali
we'll make meals
out of guacamole
Have another beer and we'll listen
to the Doobie Brothers
Celebrating birthdays with
rum-fueled sex and
black lace panties
Maybe I'll put on that
red lipstick you like so much
Loving my tan lines
and twenty-something skin.
