Cherry Crisp

Goodbye summer.

Goodbye ice cream trucks and picnics and ripe tomatoes.

Goodbye road trips and outdoor concerts. Goodbye action blockbusters in air conditioned theaters. Goodbye lemonade.

Goodbye s’mores and dandelions and thunderstorms and fireworks. Goodbye reruns and strappy sandals. Goodbye sunburns. Goodbye baseball and crickets chirping.

Goodbye fresh cherries.
