Listening to July
by Mathew

The fourth of July

Take a minute to listen to the fireworks

Like they were bombs in the air bursting way like a big war

And people cheering for our town to win

And look at the shapes in the sky

Like if God was drawing a picture

And the people in boats in the lake getting a closer view

Or people sitting on the ground with nice soft blankets

And when it's over

You think about that for a while...
