the fireworks have started early

[TheBlueMask]

the fireworks have started early
it is june 30th
and we celebrate
what
who
why

gorgeous are the flames
those bolts in your hair
flickering shim-sham shine
its better than georgia
though i would defer
on this difference
between art and holiday

but it’s june 30th
she is beautiful
and the feedback keeps coming
the rehearsal march over
it’s time to pull
but the push is the shove
and the bad meets the worst
over
game becomes overrated

but the reflection in the mirror
where the hand met the mouth
spat out deciphered words
a morose code soulful
there is discipline amongst the ranks
a million lovers denied
hello

but it’s june 30th
for samantha
