Summer


What’s that word for
When time
Is unkept
Tangled and wily
When I never fail
To have a cold drink
In my hand
Or when sand
Becomes a sticky hitchhiker
That I learn to love
When my hair
Turns from a muddy blond
To silky gold
What’s the word for
Warm ice cream
And cold pizza
When my nails
Are forever
Changing colors
Along with my skin
From pale to dark to red
When the sun
Sticks around
For a few more hours
When home theaters
Are more populated
Than cinemas
When friends turn to BFFLADs
And life is taken seriously
What’s the word…
