no soliciting
Don’t listen to
what they are
telling you.
Don’t buy
what they are
selling.
Teenagers are still
meeting at public pools
to do handstands
in the deep end
and play volleyball
in the
brittle browned
summer grass.
Kids are still running
the ashpalt
and spreading
lightning bug guts
on their
sticky sweet
popsicle cheeks.
Lovers are still
picnicking in the parks
and stealing kisses
behind their
tacky tinted
car windows.
We are only doomed
if we stop believing
in our wonder of
the never-changing.
We can’t go broke
if we never buy
what they
are selling.
