sometimes.
when the nights start getting cooler.
and the sky turns a few shades darker.
the best and only thing to do.
is meet your friends on the corktown sidewalk.
under a full moon.
for hot barbecue sandwiches.
and fresh peach tea.
the very act of it.
is the final love letter to summer.
and the first leap into fall.

God that sounds like just the thing to do!
