Say It Aint So
The only thing I didn't like about summer vacations, back when such luxuries were afforded me, was how invariably quickly they passed. When the final bell rang in May, the lengthy days of summer freedom that lay before me seemed interminable. Ninety days of backyard baseball and popsicles, even of those first summer jobs, was an eternity of leisure. It was all a boy could hope for.
But suddenly, the solstice came and went. Days that grew longer were now cut short by the intrusion of unwelcome dusks. Brown paper sacks teeming with fireworks, forever waiting for Independence Day, abruptly found themselves empty on the 5th of July. In a flash July would run out like a firecracker's wick. Time would ravage my perpetual summer, leaving behind only the humid table scraps of August to cling to.
Now July recedes again, and thoughts turn back to school. Too soon, as ever, but that time is upon us. Funny though, how the approaching school year students yearn to keep at bay assumes an air of excitement and newness as it draws near.
