.

is this how a sentence ends

Like a hot summer day

You plant the hose in between your imprinted hands from your bike handle riding all day long, all tangled up (no helmet on, racing neighborhood boys)

Like a snake so you try your best to unkink it

You turn on it, rickety and rusty and noisy handle

And you drink the hot water like it's Kool-Aid

Until it's a little cool

And you soak it up like a sponge

Summer can't end here
