The Summer of Fun

pancakes with strawberries and cream
saw chipmunks on the beach and deer
watched people cleaning their catch
pulling their boats out with trucks
got Starbucks, showers, new clothes
and headed east with the boombox

chords, strings, we brings -- melody
burritos, bras, even a new laptop
Bugaboo burgers, gas in Cumberland
heaping cones outside outer Bowser
(I dared to pick up my Rolo chunk
and caught a falling caramel hunk)

found grasslands down that road
then the habitat path to the lake
childhood stuff in the tall reeds
crouching low, mouth clamped shut
Mediterranean pizza and spinach pie
from Oliveri's at night in the garden
