Kool-Aid and hotdogs as our standard fair ,no shoes same shirt close cropped hair.
No more sitting in order or lunch on a bell, switch dropping pencils to using crayons for a spell.
Crossing guard gone, now an old couple on the porch, they don't yell mostly just stare.
Soon flies as busy as the girls & boys,not idle but running wild, spring rain ,inside Hell.
Greening grass yellow dandelions, bothered by bugs brushing it all off without little care.
Awaiting the nearest pool or a wash in a river ,lake or pond, Lifeguards sitting on a citadel.
Burning red replacing winters white peeling skin but still a grin not understanding despair.
Patriotic dues merely a muse , really want the fire crackers & smoke to wish America well.
Fishing & wishing ,frogs at night catch our sight ,lanterns create patterns with the stories we share.
Birthdays & Sundays keeping us clean Long enough to recall when we return to alphabetical personnel.
New clothes & now shoes no longer we muse ,Dad always taking us for the last summer cruise. :) R.C.
