Summertime is Great

After watching this video, I was inspired to write this poem to my friend, Del.


Summertime is Great



I don't know how.
I don't know why.
My pupils are dilated.
I can't find the sky.

It could be this.
It could be the
red and white peppermint twists,
hiding under my tongue.

A chill so deep,
coursing through my bones.
After watching this video,
I can't help but moan.

Why oh why, Del?!!
Why'd you make me sit
through the blissful reverie
and treasury, such as this?

I see myself now,
in sleeves of white
in a rubber room
under the cover of night.

Laughing at the cat
who's floating under my tree
Pit, pit, pat, pat,
goes my drool to
the pool underneath me.

Alas, and farewell
to the logic I ONCE had.

In my heart and my soul
I feel, and I know,
somehow and some way,
this video is...inspiring.
