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

Codependency Day

July 4^th 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.
