i come from...
4.7.21
Water out of the rusted spout
on the side of the house
Roll of plastic
my daddy used as a contractor
as the slip and slide
Ant bites from that slip and slide
Fireworks
Retaliation
Retreat
They flew
Times two
Screwdrivers
Lop Choppers
Metal rakes
where The corners were bent as hell
and half rusted from leaving it out
that you were of course scolded for.
Sometimes it was fun
because the corners
would bounce out of place
not following along with the metal ones
still hanging on to their form.
I come from adding water to the conditioner bottle
at least 3 times
before finally succumbing to its demise
I consider requesting the ze/ for feedback.
What order should these be rewritten?
If you did not know the story.
Chronologically.
Because that’s how I am writing it
as it in has been impressed upon me.
How would another place the order of these?
Was there a leading up to?
My life.
Who knows if I am an average American or not.
I’m just me.
