“ And in the summertime, love, of our summertime
loves,
not of people or boys-heaven forbidl-
for our kisses were candy and bubble-gum
innocence
but of freedom and of ice-cream and lemonade
splashing
down dusty dry throats
while our bodies, wet from running through Dunns
River Falls, btsi
which was really a sprinkler, dried in the sun.
And our summertime loves of skinning our knees and
fasting
salt tears, but we always recovered to scoot for ice
cream.
And we were young enough to think we were old
enough to fm fk
know it all.
Now in the summertime, love, and our summertime
loves are €
still lemondade on dusty dry days and ice cream that
soothes
knees that aren’t skinned.
But the sprinkler’s only a sprinkler now, and we look
at wasas
boys-heaven forbid!
and we’re old enough to know we’ll never be old
enough to know Emu i
it all.”
Donna Bickle

“ I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the One less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference."
Robert Frost
