Our Anniversary

It's our anniversary I leave it ajar And go outside To look at the driveway stars The crickets are chirping They stop at my step I stop my step And they start up again It's our anniversary and the bullfrogs And everything that can sing is singing Its mating song The soil is steaming, grass is swooning Guns or fireworks are popping Down in the town, a woman is running A man jumps up and down It's our anniversary and you've hidden my keys This is one anniversary you're spending with me I slide in the front seat, the driver's side To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind But still in the driveway fixed like the stars I flip on the headlights and go back inside The climate's controlled while the battery dies Clipping the wings of your morning flight The night will end In some form of excess Pants around ankles Too weak to fully undress It's our anniversary A celebration of and here's to next year Maybe you'll join me in my car We'll drive together, but not too far We are far from flowers cut and dried So let us thrive, let us thrive Let us thrive, let us thrive Just like the weeds we curse sometimes
