Thursday
it was a day of yes and a day of no
and a day of i hate you and a day of i don't
but i remember the bright lights
and the grass
and the fence
we walked for hours it seemed
our boots made us tired
and wobbly
our minds were on overdrive
and all i remember
is not feeling bad
playing charades- i was the gorilla, she was the robot, he was the monkey
monsters gave us energy
food gave us high
the night made us weary
but hopeful
and right
and as we parked by a house
we lit up the darkness
and rested our eyes
and dreamed
of our thoughts
we fell into silence
as loud as the sounds
that were hiding in trees
and aching in throats
wishing to be heard
but afraid to come out
