independence day suburban style

it's the annual
4th of July pool party.
the driveway is packed
with cars.
hot dogs are on the grill.
burgers
and sausages.
the watermelon is
in the cooler.
Marge made her potato salad.
Jenny
brought a cake,
two cakes actually, with a
frosted fireworks display on top.
kids are running wild.
screaming
madly.
the dogs are out.
Amber is wearing her flag
bikini
and smoking a cigarette
while on her phone.
Journey is on
the stereo, speakers
set about.
the hose is nearby just in
case the house
catches fire when the roman
candles explode.
bandages and Neosporin
are on the window
sill.
sparklers are set fire
and waved about.
big Jim is doing a cannonball
off the diving board.
it never gets old.
