4th of July
I want my whole life to be like this
(minus the clam)
Was wonderful. My little brother cooked pancakes, I walked through a wide open field, I saw a waterfall. I drove fast on the highway. I bought a three dollar shirt with a huge Eagle on it. I ate a raw clam, drank a cold beer. I got into a water fight with two three year olds. I won.
I swam out into the ocean and did a somersault off a raft. I watched my friends get wasted. I foraged through the woods to find firewood and stood by it on the beach while it burned. I saw fireworks exploding as far down the Connecticut coast as I could see.
I held an oversized sparkler. I sipped vodka from a lawn chair while Michael Jackson songs played from a nearby porch. And while I sat on that noisy beach wishing the night didn’t have to end my best friend showed up with pillows and blankets and it didn’t.
I woke up in the sand the next morning when the sun rose.
Oh, and I didn’t use a computer once.
