there’s no I in team

they get into their car
and drive to a beach
they have a good day
swimming and laughing
they eat their potato chips
and drink cold beer
from a cooler they brought
their skin browning
until sunset kisses them
and tells them it’s time
to go home and rest
they climb into bed, sleep
and when they wake
they speak of their dreams
complex and lovely
with their breakfast

she gets into her car
and drives to a beach
she has a good day
swimming and laughing
she eats her potato chips
and drinks cold beer
from a cooler she brought
her skin browning
until sunset kisses her
and tells her it’s time
to go home and rest
she climbs into bed, sleeps
and when she wakes
she speaks of her dreams
complex and lovely
with her breakfast
