slip away

Even before spring had settled in I feared this summer would be a total loss.

And of course it is.

I didn’t go to the fair. I went to the beach a few times. I saw the vampire only twice.

I did go to Texas, at least.

But otherwise…no, I can’t say I’ve had much fun this summer. I won’t hold out much hope for fall, or winter, or, really, the rest of my godforsaken life.

That’s the mood I’m in.
