A Nice memory


You know when you remember a good memory Not a Gigantic memory Like a landmark milestone good memory But just a nice thing that happened that you let get swept up in all of the things You've done since ? I remember when we went star Tripping It was just after we drove back to your house After frisbee And we were both so Sweaty and dirty and tired And it was muggy outside And maybe even kind of damp And there were mosquitos outside And your sister left when we got there so we were alone for a few minutes Until your dad got there And he told you the water was shut off And we were so Sweaty and dirty And he asked you to go into the crawl space With him To look at the pipes And I crouched down And watched the crickets and the spiders Under the house And the mosquitos trying to land on my body while you looked for something Under your house and when you came out You grabbed me by the wrists And pulled me to the center of the yard And told me to look up And pick a star It was clear that night So you could see stars And l picked one and I started to spin And your grass needed cut So my shoes got tangled And I rolled really hard And sprang up fast Because it was one of those times Where you hit the ground And can just spring right back up And I was very far from where I had started And you laughed at me And I laughed at me And you picked a star And you spun Until you fell down Except I fell down much better And then we were covered in grass And chigger bites And mosquito bites And cobwebs And I was happy That we did that
