If I could do anything this summer I would travel across the country to
California. I would walk barefoot through the sand and stay in a beautiful city house where I could sit atop the roof at night and let the warm wind blow through my hair like a fine toothed comb. I would let the entire world encompass me in its warmth and touch. I would soak in the sun and feel the waves hit my back. Beautiful flowers would grow atop my roof and their scents would trail throughout the air like some kind of fragrant ghost, creating a memory that lasts forever, a smell, a touch, a taste that I can hold wherever I go of that perfect summer.getting my tan
i hear children splashing
and playing in the sand

i see people making sand castles
family's laughing together
lifeguards rescuing
as could dream on forever

as i wake up
i realize it was just a dream
all a dream that will never happen

instead...i spend my summer mowing lawns
i spend my summer babysitting
i spend my summer hard work and exercise
i spend my summer surfing the net and talking on the phone

dreaming of boys all day long
sitting around tall and strong...
from workin...and mowng...and babysitting
