summer of twenty twenty-nine
if it was a sunflare
it couldn’t have possibly
reached the ground
but that is what they
would have you believe
anything requiring energy
simply isn’t working
not even battery
powered flashlights
cash is king
and there’s been a run
on candles & matches
and brown paper bags
the girls on the corner
are making a killing
selling shots of lemonade
