crash

I crashed into
the real world
yesterday.

of cops and contacts
and broken windshields

of cars and lawns
and burgers and kisses

of 'one for sorrow
two for joy'

of printed orange-yellow
bermudas

of collar bones and wandering
fingers

of watermelon juice and sweat
heat and a dark summer night

of morning lazy-ness
and evening rubbery-ness

of fresh faces and softies

of guilt and honesty

of smiles, love and
upturned vehicles.

I crashed into reality
yesterday.
