She packs for year two
Hits me as I fold her clothes
I loathe summer’s haste

Summer college fair
Crossed off many states and schools
Thanks to politics

Families converged
Our annual pizza night
Kicks off the school year

Rain pushed us inside
Where cat allergies blossomed
We watched guests struggle

Spring and fall collide
Storms on chilly August nights
Summer steps aside

We pop between yards
Leap into conversations
Summer in Uptown

Monday jumped into
The blender to mask its plans
Left a funky taste

If food is homemade
Do we get a time credit
Since the clock sped up

The air chilled, sun slept
We dug up old kid movies
Felt like time travel

His books drove their fear
A Shakespearean stabbing
His words stand firm
