listening
to the sweet soul sounds
of
summertime

lazy hazy days
captured
in smooth flow saxophone

singin’

“summertime
and the livin’ is easy
fish are jumpin’
and the cotton is high”

oh play me there
in your slow heat melody
sound me some
front porch longing
with frosted glass
lemonade

yes,
play me there
a watchin’ the little kiddies
dancing round
in their summertime ways

mmmmmmmmm
baby . . .

play me those
sweet, sweet
summertime days

s.a.t.


note- listening to Kenny G playing "Summertime" and thinking of back porch lounging while my baby girl and her friends play -

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .
