INFLATED TO NOTHING
Like a Summer coming in too
early, or a watercolor wash of
August heat, no one really wants
to stand in place - the malingerers
idly watching the pace of the
heat-sent glamor they foresee:
-
Girls in their shimmering dresses;
oddball men in halfway shorts;
the vacation climbers trying to
manage the hillside. Soon enough,
again, every postcard being sent
will bear a gripe about weather,
or some long line about this wasn't
what was meant when the word
'Vacation' was initially uttered.
-
Dads go fishing while the kids are
in the lake. Mothers mutter a word
about how much more they can take.
