scraped knees and bloody palms

Scrapped knees and bloody palms from the concrete sidewalk tiles

Playing around mid summer with neon colored chalksticks on the hot outside ground

The warm breeze that slowly gets colder when day approaches night 

Buzzing airconditioning thats on its highest setting

Sand sticking to skin from sunscreen

The smell of blooming flowers

Scrapped knees and bloody palms are marks of fun times

But they ended like getting told by your mom that it was your bedtime

"Five minutes?"

The memories are playing in my head like an old cassette

 The childish giggly sounds slowly fading away

It tastes bittersweet
