the end of summer

i see the neighbor
packing his car for the end of summer
beach trip
with his family.
in go the coolers,
and boogie boards,
the bikes
on the back.
the towels and suitcases.
the pillows,
the books
the snacks.
oh, how i remember it well.
the long road
to the eastern shore,
the six days
and seven nights in a
beach front
hotel.
bringing back the salt
and sand of it all.
our skin toasted brown.
snap shots in the phone.
saltwater taffy and
a netted bag of white 
and pink shells.
