Left Behind

It's summer. Hmm. Sad, I've forgotten that long ago out-of-school feeling. I remember having the feeling or memory but somewhere along the line of time I lost it. I only bring this up because as I passed the school bus depot on my way in this morning, all the busses sat idle behind the chain-link and I realized that it was summer-time and my heart dropped a little as a longing came over me for that lost memory, and I felt a bit like the last kid, wandering the empty halls of an vacant school alone and knowing the time has past, the year has ended but not knowing what happened or where it went. And then in the snap of the fingers, I was back, driving to work and not thinking of vacations or childhood memories.
