The Fourth of July
Now approaches and
Loud explosions are a big
Part of the objective
And 90 miles to the west
Chicago sits as a sort of explosion
Of sorts
Ejecting various verbose,
Booze-obsessed individuals
Who will thereby lodge in northern Indiana
Obsessing with horror movies
And Malort
And generally
Reminding you of a certain dark,
Awkward truth traversing
The inner bowels of our world,
In case you needed it.
