in the middle of the summer death march
rain festival ongoing
all night before, morning, afternoon
got this crazy (not so crazy) idea
picked up my not hungover surprisingly girlfriend
bought some fast food fast
mc whopper for me, filet-o-chicken for her
pulled out some red hot sauce from her purse
she loves it on anything—I mean anything***
pulled into a pretty empty walmart parking lot
turned off the 351 red and white starsky and hutch lookalike
had us an inside the car picnic
got there quickly, sat there slowly, eating our food slowly
watching the cars watching the people
drinking our drinks- alcohol may have been involved
some tokes
listening to the rain hitting the car roof
splashing on the windows
enjoying the zen as the hipsters say
not saying a whole lot, overcome by the quiet
I love that about her
she gets into the peacefulness thing like I do
we still sat there long after the food was eaten
her head on my shoulder
my arm around her
when it got dark, we went back to her place
turned some music on
left the lights off
