Super Last Minute

When you craved the all new
you lapped at water laced with cream
it was all you could do to make ends meet
with your super last minute rituals, decoders,
voice modulators, erased messages, the works.
I was always like "what's going on over there?"
Not even a whole trip somewhere so
we watched some movies of people going places
and that sufficed for the summer.
Now that a smug tingle is in the air
our rule is to become strangers every
now and then. And we live by the rules
in our simple circle. Loops of your hair
serve as reminders you're not either.
