You drink tap water
and listen to top 40, singing to the songs you like
while driving along route 25
staring at the mountains in the sunshine
You think maybe someday you’ll have enough money you can just buy bottled water
kind without the bitter taste
once it drips from the glass down your throat
It’s nice to have dreams
You don’t know what you’re going to do for money
but then you never have known
feasibly
never will know
You’re happy
inexplicably
despite the fact your savings
is dwindling by the day
Fuck it
Live a little
You’re happy
You drink tap water
it keeps you hydrated
