July

Tonight I heard fireworks.
So I ran around the block barefoot,
searching for the best viewing spot.
I thought about last years month of July,
and the July before that.
I don't like the connections I found,
they're not very promising.
But being barefoot was nice.
I felt like I was living in an older America.
"The American Dream"
I found the big dipper, the north star, and Cassiopeia in the sky
amid all the fireworks.
It was nice,
could have been better.
