Okay, so this is the same deal as last time: class, weird format, required, thought I'd give posting them a shot. These go by syllable count: 3, 5, 7, 9, 3. Also, just so you know, the last three are meant to be read together sequentially to tell a story. I hope you enjoy!

July fourth

I sat on a dock

While you choked on your own thoughts

I think we both crumbled that night but

We began

Afternoon

Under freeway trees

We were all busy singing

Surrounded by balloons and

At different schools but 

We're still full of butterflies

Made of preserved flowers from each date
