you're in a shady hipster bar,
drinking $3 PBRs,
wearing your cutest business casual
with Chuck Taylors,
and you're hearing Electric Feel by MGMT
for the very first time.
Life is good
and love is real.
Those simple moments...
Like sitting in your car,
while it's raining
and you just fell in love
with the most beautiful girl in town,
and the most perfect song
comes on.
Life is good
and has meaning.
Or...
Out of all the restaurants
in New York City,
you had to walk into The House,
around the time I was on the fence,
and writing poems
using titles of Bon Iver songs.
Life is good
and sometimes surprising.
And...
All my best poetry batches
were assembled like mixtapes
made in my twenties
for people I loved
across multiple lives,
from the subway
to stairwells.
