The CDC says,
fully vaccinated people can kiss me on the forehead now.
The CDC says,
fully vaccinated people can find some really good leaves to look at,
with friends or a loved one, maybe even a tinder date,
maybe someone
you met at the bar and kissed three gin and tonics in.
The CDC says,
hey now,
you two go out there and look at all that fall foliage!
The CDC says,
fully vaccinated people can catch up with friends
they don’t know how to talk to anymore.
it’s easy, remember?
just go to a bar with a patio and loud music,
hope there’s a few fluffy dogs hanging out,
think about where you were in life
the last time you guys hung out,
how much has changed since then yet also
how so much has oddly stayed the same.
order a couple of ice cold Lonestars,
a couple of shots of Jameson,
and one bag of mediocre coke from your friend’s dealer.
The CDC says,
voila! that’s friendship in Austin, Texas, baby.
