Rain mist and the smell of new tires
"Raindrops keep falling on my head"
This song's tonal sigh ending
is a slowed shaking beach towel
dry off the line in early evening

  Hot pavement and fresh paint
  Out of the bright gray-orange warmth
and into the cold Big Bear grocery
with my Mom
  I want a brown rubber-headed toy Indian drum!
Icecream snowmen on a stick or Orange Push-Ups
  Exit towards the beach heat past a turnable rack
of large thick plastic framed sunglasses of many colors
  Smoking grills and recently mowed lawns
Pooh birthday parties in the back yard
  Water fights and Slicky Slides
  Water hose down the back of a neighboor's swim suit
  Laugh
Splash
Run on the road
  Waxy Kiss cards' gum and footlong hot dogs after ballgames
  Bicentennial parades boil by the cemetery
  Pacifier candy and soft salty pretzels by the public pool
  Let's go build a fort!
