summer.

at 10:47 p.m. yesterday,
it became officially summer.
the solstice, mutha-ucks.
sun stands still.
sol stice.
y'know, like a cease-fire armistice,
for daylight.
so,
that makes today the big action.
and it's flippin' pourin' down some more skydrops.
the "cloud with lines underneath it" is the only symbol on the five-day forecast.
c'mon.
grilled somethin's are on the sandwich week menu tonight.
because it's summer,
and summer means grilled somethin'.
nice.
it's raining so hard it's hard to even see outside.
a curtain of cloudcovered crap.
summer, so far, bites a hot log straight from the crater.

oh,
and it's not just summer,
it's also Father's Day.
the least-dope family holiday on the calender.
ties, slippers, and mugs labeled 'world's best' are flying off the shelves.
i put some babies all up in there back in the day,
and that makes me a dad.
by definition, even.
so that's cool.
i mean,
i have to share the day with a whole holy buttload
of other 'nother dudes;
but still,
today is the day.
don't be an A-hole,
call your ol' man.

the sun stands still,
but i'm makin' moves;
never quiet, never soft....
