a summer place

don't let the screen
door slam.
but close it gently
you're letting
the flies in.
turn that fan around
it's hot in here
and it's only june.
when you kids
get out of school
we'll get a pool.
we'll blow it up and
fill it to the brim
with hose water.
it won't be much,
but it will make it
seem as if we
have place to go.
a summer place.
even if it's only
to the dirt worn yard,
with a clothes line
and a dog curled,
panting below.
