542. alex + brooks

cheers to the life where

a few rough patches

or a couple tight spots

doesn’t stop teeing up

orange crushes straight

from the admiral’s cup.

the salt water memories

and caribbean escapes,

don’t even compare to

their lazy brickfront days,

sidewalk smiles in a pair

of old adirondack chairs.

it’s a pretty little picture

with a missippi magnolia

and a black-eyed benny,

straight across from

the local lucky penny.
