.

Summer
rolls out of bed late
leisurely and at her own pace.

She stays in her nightclothes past noon
and refuses to answer the phone.
You can leave a message, but she won't call you back.

She eats fresh fruit and leftover barbecue for lunch
and has ice cream for dessert. Every day.

She spends most of her time on the porch or the Veranda.
She has her ceiling fans running allthetime.

She wears sundresses and sandals in public
barefeet and less
at home.

Summer
doesn't let her hair down because she
never put it Up.
