Another Summer

A Poem

--

Another summer to stay inside
To avoid the heat, the humidity and
The sun.
Another summer to avoid parades, concerts and festivals
Filled with people
All consumed in their own narcissism
Pushing and shoving
"Me first!"

Adventures. Vacations.
So many things to do.
But why?
What if you don't see everything?
What if you don't stay at every resort?
