Summertime In The Tropics

Summertime in the tropics
my favorite season of the year
no more school, no more chores
just temperatures knocking ninety degrees
sun rays and liquid sunshine
riding the pores of my skin
splashed in Coppertone oil
and a cone of coconut ice cream
melting my gums
while sitting on a dry towel
on a tropical beach whose currents
are shouting out my name in thin air
picking up a twig to draw my name
on the coral encrusted sand dunes
