Now That It's Summer

Now that it's summer

the museum I live almost next to always has a concert going on

sometime around 5 going to 9:30

the bass inside of my ears

as I try

and fail

to fall asleep.

Now that it's summer

I have camps

signed up by my mom

only excited for one.

Now that it's summer

I lose contact with some friends

gain more with others.

Now that it's summer

I have too much free time

too much room

for nothing

for empty space

for the summer cons to kick in

for the rain to sleep into my very being

making me melt

evaporate

dissolve.

Now that it's summer

I don't know what to do.

  • Tranquility

    My funny little friend

    appearing at my door

    day in and day out

    to say hello to me.

    So intelligent

    yet so stupid

    chasing after fallen leaves and blades of grass

    lying on the doormat

  • Happy birthday

    Happy birthday

    or more like happy belated birthday -

    I'm a day late -

    but still

    you're fourteen now

    same as you were a week ago

    but older

    You'll be driving in what, two years?

    we're so old
