awkward movie night

by CJ The Tall Poet

Amplifying warm applause for no benefit 

My breaths filled a sand-hill crane’s nest

Corrugated cardboard rested upon sand

Pools in a lap style outreach its influence 

Stepping stones weren’t visible until noon

Today isn’t the greatest 

Zero is what I expected to see 

From a sentimental perspective and journey
