Making Out While the World Collapses photo

Filipino food truck
Eight-dollar lemonade
Overcast clouds & Jesus

On this old man's hat
Smiling at me or about me
He hands me a business card

That says “homosexuals” are going to hell
He tells me parking is down at the end
I say thank you

There's a hurricane coming
I'm showing more skin than usual

I feel sexy
as a sheared sheep
Mostly there are women here

DJ is playing songs about sex
interpolated gunshots &
Chappel Roan

covered three different ways
over the course of six hrs.
Girls dance barefoot in the grass.

Girls smoke weed.
Trans men with
Top scars in tank tops.

I see some gay guys I know
I say “Hi” and they say “Hi”
and nothing else

It's October
My lover texts me to stay hydrated
It begins to rain.

Now the band is playing Maroon 5
I take the business card and read
The Bible verses from it.
