Midmorning Hum

\ l / * I R C * \ * C my ears L * / * G N I * / l \ cicadas sound; I can feel the heat of the Summer sun with just that sound; the sizzling, midmorning hum, as my air clicks on and I tap away and I sip from mug and I sit, though I fly far away to childhood or meditate on this very m o m e n t v o r a c i o s l y

Oh, the sounds of summer ...cicadas and lawnmowers (outdoing one another as far as noise level is concerned). It particularly reminds me of a student town near where I grew up - sipping a Coke under the Oak trees, but then the sound seems to become uncomfortable during a lull in conversation ... Much like the English like to talk about the weather (a safe topic), one could comment on the noisy bugs. Enjoy your Sunday, Kim. :)
