Under the Summer

Under the summer
The fall is waiting
It waits calmly and quietly 
Waiting for its slow change 
Into only a few months 

Under the green 
The orange and red waits 
For the memories 
And mistakes of fall 

Under the warm 
The cold is waiting 
It's waiting to freeze the earth 
To make winter come sooner 

And under the summer
The green 
And the warm 
The part of you 
You forgot 
Waits to be seen 
After the summer 
Fall is here

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
