Suburban Summer

, riddles N' rainbows paintbrush the day summer's heaviness invades rain circumvents geraniums ant's N' azaleas dance through sidewalks where tiny green grass creep 'neath weeds to see sun seed grey with bright frogs N' grasshoppers flop along best friends when storm clouds bend beyond old oak trees boys N' girls skip rope, Double Dutch N' such up N' down the cul de sac curve moms N' dads pretend everything's ok when they've long since strayed away from light N' love gloves come off when lights go out they scream N' shout the children barely notice yet they'll feel the coldness N' cold shoulders as it's gets colder N' colder just not days N' nights like now fuss N' fights have no place right here N' right now along these roasting roads where ticky tack homes crowd suburbia where riddles N' rainbows paintbrush the day summer's heaviness invades as nature n' naïve children play... today , ~JSLambert 2014
