Summer is

chlorinated water

breakfast at noon

 karaoke in the car

afternoon bike rides

movie marathons

pre-vacation panic

late-night video calls

soccer sans sunscreen

frequent ice cream runs

basketball with the bros

re-beating video games

bonfires in the backyard

friends at physics camp

a brand-new sketchbook

an excuse to not blog

muggles at a premiere

a freshly mowed lawn

hours on the lake

sand between toes

a guitar session

a frappuccino

cloud watching

a good book

three months

over, for now.
