i. every summer
i watch the neighborhood kids
shed a layer of skin
and turn themselves inside out
again and again
identity is a tricky thingii. sweltering july heat
calloused barefoot feet
kid-covered sidewalks and
cherry popsicles and
community pools
the summer of '16 is one for foolsiii. he lies and she cries and
the cycle begins anew
