paper invitations to birthday parties
texts about send-offs and get-togethers
drives with best friends and loud bass
outdoor or indoor vaccination card dinings
family trips down south and out west

(but is this still normal?)

parents are still signing those papers
pets are getting lethargic and older
hobbies becoming chores when i suffer
friends moving on after summers
people changing, trying to become better

(if it wasn’t, it is now.)
