Green Town Ohio
...inspired by 'Dandelion Wine'
by Ray Bradbury
Green Town, Ohio,
where memories congregate,
sneakers and time machines,
grandmas and cookies;
leaping tall buildings
and smelling the fresh cut grass,
junebugs and crickets compete
as the best; sparklers and firecrackers
fizzle for dominance,
lighting our path through
the warm summer nights;
holding hands, tentative,
feeling the moment,
you can't put a price
on such innocent bliss;
Jimmy and Emily
out by the old oak fence,
sharing those memories,
stealing a kiss.
