Shadows on fences. Ping pong and badminton. Bubble wands. Lost teeth. Hammock swings. Four wheel rides. Dirty toes. Cousins. Damp swimming suits. New chapter books. Old chapter books. Fingernail polish. Dance parties. Sick days. Late mornings. Late nights. Weird meals. Bug spray. Bug bites. Joyful parties. Overstimulation. Go go go. So bored. Funky tan lines. Ripe fruit. Dead grass. Sprinkler games. Tired snuggles. You smell weird. We can’t stop. Please don’t stop. Goes too fast. Summer.
