seethingblue's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- seasons over people and places i have drained myself of summer, anticipating the end, watching june dissipate into banners emblazoned with stars and stripes, decorations of the flag hanging from every store window. barbeques. beaches. sandy hair. family photos. clean, crisp khakis. sliced watermelon on a checkered tablecloth. ice cream cones. vanilla. texturally bland and smooth but sweet to the taste and cool, melting over hands, caking fingernails, this sticky residue of summer 11:51 - 01 July, 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
