whatever happened to july 20th?
it got lost in the rubble.
it was a beautiful day to be born
but oh was it trouble.
now if i was born that day
i’d wear a skywalker
like may 4th
and how it’s with you–
and how we fly talk her
and now we’re through.
(for those who don’t know, fly talking is a way of talking and walking away. so if you fly talk her, you did a thing that no one can read. not even gwyneth paltrow. she’s my best friend i never met, but i’m sure she would say, “no way jose, he fly talks, and i can’t read that.”)
so anyway, here we are
fly talker
skywalkers
wondering what the world would be–
without july. twen-ty.
specifically in the 70’s
nah in the 80’s too.
not the 90’s
that would be sade.
saudi arabia
isn’t even real.
it’s dubai.
it’s all dubai.
not even kuwait
could wait
to wait on you
my server bartender
born on the hottest day of the year-
july 20 TH.
if you were born at the end–
you were born to be the bends
you were born july 20th
with zero hands to lend a hand.
my man.
(but the way denzel says it).
the end.
