specific memories of childhood summers

the smell of chlorine after swimming in a public pool, the feeling of grains of sand underneath your wet swimsuit, your mom spraying you with sunscreen and cringing when it got in your eyes and the smell filling your nose, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk and then washing it away with the hose and taking a sip of the hose water, the squelchy sound of walking with wet flip flops, eating a rainbow snow cone and your face getting all sticky, sliding down a tall hot metal slide and feeling the heat burn your skin, drinking lemonade out of a styrofoam cup, the metallic smell of chains on swingsets, washing off muddy feet in the tub, playing a couple flash games on pbskids.com before heading to the public pool, slapping away mosquitos as your playing in the backyard in the evening, the smell of freshly cut grass in the afternoon, going to bed actually excited to wake up in the morning
