Scattered
In July.
The gym I go to is down the street.
I like to wear those shoes.
Shoes which are dying to run around.
My birthday.
It was horrible,
I don’t know why.
In July.
All I have are July shoes.
My May shoes were ruined in a muddy puddle.
I drove my car back home.
A stone in the gravel driveway.
Gets flicked aside.
All I have are my July keys.
And my July groceries which are getting hot.
In July.
There’s not much to do except have a July day.
With flowers, but they are summer flowers, not the first blooming, bustling flowers.
I miss when it was May and we all fell over like a coffee mug.
With just a little bit of coffee left.
In July.
I drink iced coffee only.
Even though most places serve both hot and iced…
I want to forget.
