Summer Time

Early rise with the sun
After the east is sweating
Past the descent of fullness
Too easy to hit the snooze

Closet offers one option
To fulfill nothing of a lazy day
Eager board shorts on the rack
Soft cotton of a temporary tank

Already planned to dethaw
Soap on the spatula to not mix the weekends
Forgetfulness of the grill
"Blackened" meals for all

Finding your place through being
Just enough to lay under the sun
Discovering emptiness of mind
Content with the bliss of heat

Working on the tan
Sweating off the grill
Thinking about the gym
Hoping the light beer doesn't show

Knowing you don't know
Laying down to travel far away
Traveling far to lay down
Summer not as a season
Only as a mindset
