it's the cherry popsicle feeling that you get
in early June convinces you
really, there's no homework left to do
and you stand entranced in the backyard
as if at the entrance to Christmas
now we're drifting in the summer sea
of days
and wondering will it always be this way
your whole life long
that time stands still.
and you're on the earth the same time as the zinnias
and just as colorful.
