dog days of summer
i met a
spaniel on the way
to the ice cream truck
waiting at the corner
she ran with two feet
and smiled with
all her heart
i can still see her
sprinting
all away 'cross my heart
we hardly spoke
through popsicles
made of melting ice
and all was nice for
a-while
one last smile
and she was gone
(wag)
Nice & light - a slight difference from where the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor, in Jackson Browne's "The Pretender" ( I'm a Creamsicle push pop fan, myself )

i had to laugh. others made this photo out to be mysterious, and scary...i was the one who *had* to put romance in it....:)
Delete(wag) - subtle fun in that coda
ReplyDeletei used to whisper it back in the days of soundcloud. i'll get there again, hopefully....
