Dog Days


Before the well anticipated menace of horror season.

Before the jack-o-lanterns.

Blocks lined with willow trees,

Lend aid to Nebuchadnezzar’s wrath.

As I soak in the heatwave’s embrace.

Finding the sweet spot,

I ride the wave of nostalgia.

Long gone care free days

When I’d bounce along.

Sure of greatness ahead,

Glasses, acne, left hand holding a bag of candy.

The scenic route in any season,

Whenever it calls.
