summer solstice
June 21st, 2008
another summer solstice has come, as my sensory data confirms. i look outside where the smoldering sun heats the chrome and metal on my car. a glowing thunderhead rolls away, and it smells like wet concrete and fresh cut grass from the afternoon rainshower. I will go home and hear and the cicadas begin their chorus in the thick damp air. a summer evening of light, the sky’s glow that stretches deep into the night hours.
my job right now is both satisfying and frustrating. I have a couple things i am working on that are actually interesting and fun, but the majority of my day is utterly boring and dumb. all i want to do is go back to summer scout day camp where we’d shoot bb guns and throw water balloons and go on the nature trail and stuff.
at least i’m not in school for the summer.
