i wish i were lazy

under the shade of trees
a few feet away, cars are passing by us
we sit with bottles of beer sweating in the humid air
you hum reggae. i, rock and roll

we’ve been doing this twenty years
waiting all our lives to get on the speedwagon of dreams
pretend-believing we can get there somehow
in the haze of lazy afternoons, amidst the riot of bugs and smoke
