six dollar memories
some of the best moments
are mass produced
in six dollar photo booths
in cheap chinatown dive
bars, in CVS self-checkout
lines, on morgedal mattresses
held up by sagstua
headrests, on the
six going uptown at five
thirty am her head
resting on your shoulder,
in cheap porta potties,
in single serving stalls,
with shots of espelon
in plastic cups with
soggy fries for chasers
singing 'love you like a
love song' badly but feeling
like a rockstar because
your gums are numb and
everyone is listening
to you sing, and
everyone is dancing
because the bag is
not even half way
empty, because your
friends are all with you
and the ones who aren't
are in the group
chat wishing they were.
all of the good times go
in the group chat
sooner or later
but the best of times
can't
those have
to be lived.
