"A Summer Day is What I Need"

‘A summer day is what I need,’
I muse within my mind.
A day when our sun’s radiance bleeds
Upon our kindred kind.

To feel the sand between my toes,
To curl them in lush grass,
That’s what I need, Lord only knows
My wish for months to pass.

However, time has not been sweet
As dripping ice cream cones,
For Winter’s embrace crushes Heat’s
And stiffens my young bones.

Let me survive a few months more,
June’s not that far away!
At least, I wish right through my core
These blizzards go astray.

Alas, I cannot jump inside
A time machine of sorts;
DeLoreans can’t help me hide
In future’s denim shorts.

Instead, I have to sit and wait
For fireworks and fries,
For top-down drives and lemonade,
God, winter kills my vibes.
