PART 4

Waking up mid sentence feels wrong… like a band aid you leave on too long. The line I just got interrupted from was me saying, “Americans look for any reason to drink!” I think I was wearing a scarf at the time. Maybe the Earth isn’t heating up. Maybe we are just wearing too many clothes. Maybe we should be taking more baths and finding more shade to spread out under. Maybe there are too goddamn many of us around and we are all breathing on each other. And all our scientist are sick of their test tubes getting foggy with someone else’s breath and they randomly screamed, “The Earth is heating up!” If I was around the corner with a “Batman” snow cone from my high school snow cone stand (where the girl with the nice legs worked) I bet the scientific community would be building the biggest fucking shade tree of all time. It’s shadow could cover half of the Earth and would retract back into the ground when we were done with it. And Europeans would paint and sing under it… and Americans would drink under it. And into it’s trunk I would carve, “Remember when we got it right?”
