snappy and clear
sky like virgin blue
blushing before the advancing sun,
early summer in the state
that knows how to distribute wisely
its vanity and temperance
so mild the pitch outside,
a definite tank-top day-
shoulders bare to the warmth
face uplifted, eyes closed
aware of the lungs sipping oxygen,
I swear there’s a trace of helium in the air-
I feel so high…
