Luigi Lalumia

Cheeze sandwiches by the pool
Pastrami and 12 grain bread
Each bite of mayonaise is exchanged from bread to mouth to face

The begging pooch is at bay by there feet
Staring with bulging, wanting eyes
His tounge hanging counter-clockwise from his opened jaw
Almost two times the length of his snout
Drool - drip dropping a pool of his own

After the brief feast the lonley crumb laten plate
Await's it's trashy fate
Was it hungry too?

Hold your breath now
Swimming is the only bearable thing to do in this heat
Like noodles in boiling water
They flip and turn and splash
Soon they will be overcooked
Complaining of lack of something

Dodging dead bugs and lucky leaves
Playing with the memory they make
Wrapping it in sun block
To be opened in the dead of winter's snap
years from now
