and the summer ends in breeze, in grass-fields; 

in piles of second-hand magazines, in broken guitar-strings;

in sleepless nights, in afternoon reads, in Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap in the evenings.

do not you want to be there after school 

every afternoon?

i do.

and i walk around, around and 

around and

around..
