how i used to spend my summers

how i used to spend my summers

bring back the five cent
jolly rancher sticks
in lemon and cherry--
the ones that last
through an entire cartoon

let's play
hide and seek
in the summer sun

ride bicycles
that have only one speed

this poem brings to mind so many memories.

"Jolly Ranchers......the ones that last through an entire cartoon"

Reference to the bicycles reminds me of scouring the vacant lots in my neighborhood searching for bike parts, and going home to put it all together
