Summer is Coming

Summer is coming,
as the days drag longer
across pavements and grasses
with hotter streaks of
temperature and light.

Summer is coming,
though Spring fights to
stay on, bringing rainstorms
and hail to cool off the
rays of the sun.

Summer is coming;
restlessness amongst the
youth brings new fashions,
crimes, vacations, and
boisterous temperaments.

Summer is coming,
and with it the sensation of
meaningful exchanges along with
impermanence, both in
love and recreation.

Summer is coming,
with our sweats returning
and bare feet peaking out,
wanting to feel the heat
from lessened responsibilities.
