August

Dang Summertime.
So many
holidays.
We're raised
to see and feel
summer
like a big, extended
holiday.
So many
designated
officially special days.
And then...

August.
No holidays in
August.
All you feel in
August
is the dread
of the cold
that follows
September.

So you burn
as bright as the
sun.
Make summer last.
Make it last beyond
August.
