Dear Summer

summer has barely even begun 

and i already feel like i’ve flown

through chapters like a speed reader..

wait! what was that?

i gotta go back. hold on!

i was either zoning out during that part

or not paying attention

and i need to understand..did i miss something?

when you are dehydrated..

you will be tempted to drink fast.

don’t..unless you want to induce vomiting

take slow sips instead. slow sips.

better yet..drink lemonade!

the birds are so much louder today

at this hour than usual.

they must have something important to say.

im certain they know something i don’t.

listen. learn.

maybe i’ll be enlightened 

as to this nagging feeling 

that has been plaguing me all day. 

i wish like hell it would go away.

gotta figure out the source first though.

the rustling of leaves is always comforting

or the way the sun reflects and glints

in the morning and makes them 

so saturated with green 

it’s almost too much color for your eyes to take in.

sometimes i have to close them to process it.

lovely. just lovely.

a girl screaming in the night however,

is not lovely.

neither is loud bass coming from a car stereo

i hope you are kind.

i wish for lots of things.

i’m certain that i’m certain

dear summer, 

please bring nice weather, conclusions,

and pleasantries, etc, etc.

yours truly-kim
