i feel like you probably heard it

I’m sit­ting on my back porch en­joy­ing a glass of wine and my moth­er­fuck­ing neigh­bor – who is a block over from my house – just set off

the ac­tu­al. most. ter­ri­fy­ing. firework.

I’ve nev­er ever seen nor heard a fire­work like this in my life, like there is no fuck­ing way that shit was le­gal, it lit up our whole block and phys­i­cal­ly shook the neighborhood,

like I gen­uine­ly looked back at the sound and saw the bright­ness that looked like a real life ex­plo­sion and cov­ered my head and rolled to the ground like how they taught us dur­ing nu­clear drills in school – and peo­ple had been light­ing off fire­works so I deadass thought, in my mind when I saw that shit,

“oh shit that is not a fire­work, that is a fuck­ing bomb.”

It was so loud it si­lenced the crick­ets and frogs,

like it was dead si­lence afterward,

un­til sud­den­ly, I could hear chil­dren and ba­bies from like 3, maybe 4, 5 hous­es around me start crying.

I’m *out­side* and I could hear them cry­ing in a cho­rus from *in­side* of their homes in fear.

It wasn’t fuck­ing fun­ny. Don’t laugh, it made fuck­ing ba­bies cry.

Who­ev­er did that is a fuck­ing ass­hole. Fuck them so hard.
