Sydney Vogl

Somewhere in a Suburb

​we floated through summer smoking weed in my parent’s hot tub, a half hollowed apple, i
bought an ‘03 camry with a cratered bumper when flames licked through california we sat on the hood, sucked on spiked slurpees & let ash rain into our throats while i drove, she dug fingers into
the flesh of tangerines, a dozen of them sunk in her lap seventeen & going anywhere salty, even
if that meant our lips after midnight the blood moon became our only witness, a strawberry fork splintering my mom’s kitchen table chlorine breath bottling please don’t tell anyone in my
mouth my silence was inherited newspaper headlines, a city skyline inked onto forearm, at the
​diner around the corner from our apartment, where the red vinyl booth peeled sticky, and the waitresses knew our order but never our names
