sleeper hit

number girl
was playing
lit up
like a ghost
as the
summer ends
we turned 18 years old

i was born
and raised in Normal
40 minutes away
from their hometown
loaded as
a bowl
we watched
kids laugh
on sidewalks
and turn
18 years old

found an old
photograph, 6
months ago
where the lights
were the lights
of a small town
and the rain came
down like
a broken radio
