late June, ready to go run
summer vacation
Palumbo Park days
games crafts drawing aliens
Montrose pool is cool
waking up early
field trips-- we wore uniforms
shirts my dad designed
kids tease me-- I'm weird
couns'lers too, mock, yellow bus
I hope school starts soon
lungs tired, sea salt air
dodging green-head flies; bike rides,
tag, late nights, board walks
road trips, car loaded
Civil War, coastal Maine shore
backseats, writing raps
license plate BINGO
travel book, twenty questions
rock climbs, shells, sea glass
chocolate vanilla
swirl dripping, t-shirt, shorts stained
melted refreshment
rainstorm puddle jumps
chasing, shoes squishing, soaked clothes
nature renovates
Granny's creek, bugs skip
rubber boots, shoveling mud
splashing with her dogs
barbecue smoke wanes
we run after fireflies
lawn chair moonlit lounge
closet-stashed new school clothes
sister and I try on, flaunt
excited, new year
