Description Puerto Rico is still asleep
while we starfish aimlessly in the sea -

We are like lost men seeking shelter
in a place where the sweating sun

is forever at high noon,
ceiling fans turning slowly

and dewy drops on upper lips.
I am the skinny girl in an indie movie

who lounges around in her underwear,
a cigarette dangling limper than dirty hair.

A phone rings somewhere.
I am grasping at a dream

like I am drowning and watching
the surface float away, falling

so deep into sleep that
the stars seem to sing.

I have no problem with the title.

I really enjoy your choice of details and the sparseness of it all.

Reading in one's underwear is the best way to start/end/spend the day.

Honestly, I really only chose it because I wanted it to rhyme with telephone haha. I didn't even know what it was until I looked it up, I was hoping it was something similar to vicodin or an anti-depressant. Anyway, I'm glad it works out Thank you!
