Grounded Summer Days
Air conditioning mutes the laughter
of my friends as they play tag in the street
with the water hydrant hydrating
their childhood with memories.
Ariel was in charge of holding
back the current in his t-shirt
when cars passed – cotton turned dam
that caused all of them to laugh,
rub and poke his
watery belly.
