i wasn't kidding last night

 

when i said that it was more beautiful than everything

 

the road look liked a dead end

 

or a split end

 

and the street lights were out for some reason

 

and it looked like a movie poster

 

for that new stephen king movie

 

when cars went by

 

we were flat in the grass

 

and their headlights sort of spilled over the grass

 

caressing the grass

 

filling the cut out scissor shapes that the grass makes

 

i knew a girl who said "skizzors"

 

she thought she was from the hood

 

or something

 

 but it really was more beautiful than anything

 

and the moon was like seven months pregnant

 

and alex said it looked like a reflection of the earth

 

like, what if the moon was really a reflection of the earth

 

and we never really went on it

 

 and katie said, yeah

 

but jillian

 

what is that opposite theory you had

 

and i said

 

oh

 

you mean the one where everything in another universe

 

is the opposite of something here on earth?

 

 and i spoke quietly

 

and when i spoke

 

i realized that some things don't have opposites

 

 i wanted to also mention that there was an orange glow

 

like a creamsicle

 

i wanted to mention that somewhere in the poem

 

and put some things around it to make it look nice

 

 and i spoke quietly

 

and when i spoke

 

i realized that some things don't have opposites
