  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • The Heat

    The heat was oppressive these last two days. In the house it was unnoticeable, the rooms cooled by the central air conditioning system. But something was off, you could tell.

  • ripples

    where do ripples come from

    i wonder

    these little 

    escalating things 

    perhaps they come from

    the speed boat 

    a few paces out 

    sharp short

    and jagged 

    or maybe 

  • Summer Camping

    It was the time of year

    when it was summer

    but it wasn't miserably hot

    wasn't disgustingly humid

    it was the perfect in-between

    the Goldilocks zone of summer.

    It was a double camping trip
