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.

    Underwater

    it's nearly silent

    incredibly quiet

    all sharp sounds softened by the waves.

    Underwater

    all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur

    bearable for once.
