We're going to be alright
As long as there are stretched summer days,
Canines that chase tennis balls,
Charcoal,
and children
Conquering cardboard continents.
Moving silver trinkets; collecting rainbow cash;
crossing go with
sticky purple popsicles.
Seventh inning stretches,
sprinklers spitting at small striding bodies.
Water everywhere.
Brooks, boats, beaches.
Balancing acts on boards.
Smashball and bonfires.
Bikinis
and grills.
Bursting with hot dogs striped red, yellow, green.
Tired chess players and ice cream trucks.
Sunblocked skin smell.
