justwrite 15 october

so just pretend it was a park in the light
like sunshine like late afternoon
and this couple right they're like the only ones
there but there are others of course
but today's their day and you can tell
they have on the right outfits it's pretty
obvious all that black and white shiny
whatever and a veil and pants with lines
down the side but no top hat come on
and so they're having this day right and it's
right in the middle of everything else there
are kids running around for no reason
which is the best reason and there are
people playing tennis even doubles but
also singles and some of them are having
these extensive conversations so you can tell
they're not really working too hard lots
of love going on over there for that set
and joggers and yeah you pretty much
know what they're doing it's like all hours
these people are out just trying to make
everyone else look bad and it's working
but not for this couple look how shiny
they are in a glowing showoffy way
and the cameras are flashing their teeth
brighter than ever and they're walking
gazing posing with posies and rings and
rosies as you might imagine but in the
elsewhere they're setting up for a movie
on the big inflatable screen which is a pretty
big deal it looks like and the country
music is blaring uncaringly from a minivan
full of AV cables unstably shifted all about
inside and twisting through the hands
of a redfaced man and his crew doing
what needs to be done clearly no one's
got time for just standing around but
at least two do and put your hand here and
smile like you mean it oh you do well then
that's even better
