Summer 2006 in Larryville

What is summer but watercolours dipping into the Ocean,
A Sudden Ray of Hope and a cure for pain for a panic-stricken mess,
A soccer ball dipping into the net, ringing the sweat out of your shorts so wet
as if you'd gone swimming?

Bunny ice cream, Watermelon salad, Cherry Limeades from the drive-in,
Struggling to consciousness as dawn breaks
while underneath a slide in a park with bark in your hair,
Rolling around in the neighbor's front yard after watching the sun rise.

Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn,
It's heaven - a place where nothing happens,
It's a kiss from a new flame, a trip to the moon.

It's music, it's poetry, it's life.
