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.

  • You Two

    Looking at you two

    as you "dance" on the "dance floor"

    which is really just an empty spot on the ground

    as you hold hands awkwardly

    though enjoying it

    as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.

  • Separation

    It's always the goodbyes that are hardest

    especially when you've gotten so close

    after years of distance

    it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

  • Endless

    Card

    after card

    after card

    it keeps going

    the stack endless

    the family tree sprawling

    stretching

    growing

    by the second.

    I have to write it all down
