_{August is a thief,
rubbing trees naked with the heat, plucking away each leaf.
It’s the dog days of summer, and you can hear them running after their daily helping of beef.

The sun is even tanned,
dark and roasted, and you lay back and relax while being fanned.
You and your friends disrupt the local spa, and out of them all, you get up getting banned.

Each day’s a time table,
the world passing in swirls of colors and mixes of every fable,
because you want life to be better than cable.

Everything burns in august,
to cooking eggs against the side walk to leaves crackling until they’re nothing but dust,
everything should burn, you laugh, it must.

You mark the calendar,
one x each day and school seems far,
so until then your cell only has one bar.}
