Aluminum Beginnings

Sam Brown

Summer’s past passed slowly
with needles dangling from our arms
like sparkling bulbs on a Christmas tree.
We forgot the joys of eating
raw blueberries in the fields of Hammonton.

We forgot how to be young and careless
with the urgency of dope sick hanging over our heads.
There were no more lazy days at the beach,
just expired milk for blood
and headaches instead of birthdays.

best friends gone bad
you, me, and this debauchery of our lives
The sun is melting mercury,
seeping into our eyes,
forlorn holes that cannot see.

We waited in that hot box car for hours.
Come on pusher man, push.
I pushed the spike and waited three seconds
until the golden brown joy vindicated
every spec of pain those tiny bags contained.

Living for those cool summer nights
when we’d smoke a whole pack
down by the bay
waiting for the rush to lose its charm.

But there was never any money left for tomorrow,
and I just thank God
it wasn’t me in there
sucking his dick.
