Its our anniversary
I leave it ajar
And go outside
To look at the driveway starsThe crickets are chirping
They stop at my step
I stop my step
And they start up againIts our anniversary and the bullfrogs
And everything that can sing is singing
its mating songThe soil is steaming
Grass is swooning
Guns or fireworks are popping
Down in the town
A woman is running
A man jumps up and downIts our anniversary and youve hidden my keys
This is one anniversary youre spending with meI slide in the front seat
The drivers side
To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind
But still in the driveway
Fixed like the starsI flip on the headlights
And go back inside
The climates controlled
While the battery diesClipping the wings of your morning flightThe night will end
In some form of excess
Pants around ankles
Too weak to fully undressIts our anniversary
A celebration of
And heres to next year
Maybe youll join me in my car
We'll drive together
But not too farWe are far from flowers
Cut and dried
So let us thrive let us thrive
Let us thrive let us thrive
Just like the weeds
We curse sometimes
