Midsummer

midsummer lies down beside me like an old dog

both of us covered in a blanket of cheap gray felt

no not a dog i mean you i mean you and me

no there's nothing wrong with our blanket

i meant the sky i was talking about the sky

no no you're nothing like the old dog you're like summer

you know midsummer when it's the best it'll ever be

that's what you're like like summer early summer

you are early summer

and i am doing the math

and i think i might get a dog
