Indianapolis

by Justin Portela

I want to live with you
in Indianapolis 

I’d like to work normal hours and shop for groceries 
and maybe go bowling 

And maybe we would go on a hike sometime
or maybe we wouldn’t 
And maybe we’d have sex
but we don’t have to 
And we can have friends 
but we don’t need them 
And we can talk about big things 
or we can talk about small things 
Like the weather
or who is running for mayor 
or that the Walmart just moved our favorite yogurt to a different aisle 
And we could read mystery books and watch Wheel of Fortune
And it would be nice 
but it doesn’t need to be 
So long as I get to be with you 
in Indianapolis
