Boom boom boom, by John Lee Hooker; Silent Night, by Bing Crosby
4th of July, Independence Day, America- fuck yeah!
Boom, pop, fizzle. Kaboom. Car alarm.
Please God, no new fucking wildfires!
Settled down. Wind chimes.
Distant rumble of ongoing pop pop pop
Some respite for the dogs, for the veterans,
For those who prefer silence
Or want to go to bed
Where did all these fireworks come from?
The Chinese must have made a killing!
A booming market, you could say
Red white and blue, bed night and loo
G’nite. It was, too.
