Today
I visited the Coachella Valley Music Festival
in my mind.

It was hot
and people had painted things on 
their bellies
and the backs of their car windshields
and kept honking and yelling, like–
“wooooo!!!” “woooo” “woooo” “etc.”

There were many conversations
about which year had the best line up
and about how a time machine would be awesome to have.

And there were many mothers
who were debating inside themselves
about whether or not they were 
too old to 
truly understand it all anymore.

Also 
a man got excited about hiding a small amount of weed in his shoe. 
a girl was mad about being on her period and the state of portable toilets
someone talked about the idea of bottled water and called it “total bullshit”
and several people silently contracted skin cancer.

On a positive note
Jack Johnson 
sang an entire album 
about Curious George
while many human beings were made pregnant
for the first time
under the 
desert stars.
