I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
take a moment and feel the summer. The rolling out of bed in a t-shirt and short shorts and rolling to work with barely one layer on, no need to bring three more. Sweating through a t-shirt or two. Well defined sweat lines. Working on a t-shirt tan. Dogging the dog days of summer. Just a little pause of recognition because it'll sneak up on you. One morning you'll feel it, a chill in the air. You'll smell it creeping in, autumn and football season. You'll feel it in the pit of your stomach, that back-to-school feeling. I haven't been back to school for years but it still gets me. I appreciate football season and crisp fall weather but I don't like that pit of the stomach thing. It's barely August but...you know what I'm saying.
