I always thought that the July 4th Holiday brought out the Trailer Park in America
Codependency Day


July 4th afternoon
The grill is on
And it’s been beer after beer after beer after beer.
Old dogs and their cheese burger bitches
Barbecue those oldies on the radio
While they lurch looking at the
Bottom of a bottle holiday
They regale some illusion of
Freedom, youth or lucidity
Your pick there

But the blue veins in stubby cut offs
Resound in male pattern baldness
Beer guts and semi-congenial
Bullies.

While in the kitchen
Fat broads blather gossip
And shoot dirty looks
In the direction toward the only
one of them there
who still has her figure
and a history.
They all secretly envy.
