summertime

remember the beach?
we were there everyday.
hot sun.
bikinis.
books.
rocks digging into our skin.
never going in the water.
aren't you two from maine?
isn't the water colder there?
so what.
we never said we liked the cold.
dunkin donuts every morning with half open eyes.
running across the parking lot at all hours.
day or night.
dirty wine glasses.
shared histories.
togas and dancing.
no one else understands.
a little bit of maine right here in beverly.
