* i wish it was summer again:
* i wish i had an iced coffee in my left hand that’s leaving a puddle on the sidewalk and a marlboro27 in my left tasting like sweet cherries with every drag. i wish i was wearing flip-flops and sitting on the curb with diane on my right side and the lumina in front of me…talking and giggling about nothing…wasting away the minutes. i wish it was one of those summer nights…the one where we could do the “double visit”. waiting for you after work, smoking butts, making plans…then go across the street to visit you and chill…smoking butts and standing in the heat wearing flip-flops. i wish it was summer so i could complain about how hot it was and hang out with kaitlin while we painted that room mississippi mud style in our pretty clothes. so we could laugh all the way to home depot and so i could watch kaitlin throw herself over the counter to “get a better look” at johnny while melting away in a fit of giggles. i wish it was summer so me and kaitlin could roast away at the legion games and buy split the pot tickets and never win and secretly cheer for “our boys”. i wish it was summer so i could go to the picnic and hang out with the cool people and be nice to everyone i hated. to get drunk and to have diane buy tequila shots at the bar. i wish it was summer…so i could actually like tequila…so i could have fun with dawn and adam all over again while wearing flip-flops and peeing behind that building. i wish it was summer so we could sit outside and giggle and giggle and play that game and pee in the woods and get poison ivy everywhere…and so i could watch bug juice when i got home early and sing jason mraz and ub40 at the top of my lungs i wish it was summer so i could buy crayons and markers at brooks to draw a clown and to laugh while i was doing it…so i could always forget the bug spray until it was too late…so i could wear cleavage shirts and love it. i wish it was summer so i could go on vacation and sit in the sun and not work at all for a whole week. to have that last night…”akisspakisoogaboogaboosis” and then…of course…the reunitification. i wish it was summer so i could lose my left shoe and not have to worry and to love life and to savor every drag of that 27 and to “chill” in the heat or on the curb or in that store or wherever because i could…because it was summer.
*i wish it was summer again so i could relive everything i forgot.
