ââ
Thatâs like a poem.
About pink.
And warm.
And ending.
And ice cream, peach.
And laughter dying out
Slowly from every summertime
Get-together everyone
In the whole wide world
Ever had on a holiday
With family and pinwheels
And little red white and blue flags
Sticking out of the short green grass.
Its peachfuzz voice says:
Weâre still free, People.
And then it goes to bed.
And weâre tired, tooâ
After all the talking and children
Playing and ladies laying
Out for the first suntan
Of the seasonâŚ
Where you fall asleep
Right there
In that cocktail light
With or without
A reason.
