Today I choose to be calm.
Tomorrow you’re on your own.
Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,

to keep their word, maybe they’re not willing
to be your friend.
We go together like
late night Slurpee and ho ho binges behind the 7-11, singing bad Sesame Street covers
and
hungover apology water balloons dropped from the 3rd floor balcony.
Happy Birthday, Sugar Honey!
