Everything Is Nostalgia
1981 that's
it as i walk around
outside now
heat like a comeuppance
and all that feeling
as i walk
remembering
myself like i think
i was
not bad
just real enough
to laugh
that one summer
1981
stands out because
i was alone mostly
it was
misery right?
no just
what it needed to be
i had access to
a 1972 chevrolet
malibu
black like
darth vader
and also
a skinny yellow
moped
a brain-damaged helicopter
i'd take places
working
at that time at the
kentucky fried chicken
mostly spending that
summer eyes wide open
watching movies
alone
between shifts
which you'd think would feel sad
but no it was perfect
so it was changing the fryer grease and
escape to new york
cleaning out the walk-in and clash of the titans
mopping the floors and raiders of the lost ark
the whole world was 2 things
which is nice
when you think about
it
fucking monastic
you can
forget the whole stupid
shebang in a certain fashion
just a paycheck
and a screen
thinking about
nothing else
everything is
nostalgia if you really get down to it
moments flashing by real quick and then
you need to remember
how that flash
is
who you are
what you need
to know
who you are
