This Is July

Commemorative colors
Spinning, lighting up night’s sky
Birthday candles, Birthday candles
Bringing tears to eyes

All-Stars, will you teach us
What teamwork is all about
While we wander in the mountains,
Reflecting lakes up in the clouds

We move just a touch slower
Its the heat -we don’t ask why
Time to take off shirts
After all, this is July

Disguise

An irritant
A tickle
A poke
And lo,
A prodding
An advance unrelenting until
The rush
The reaction
Hadn’t dared hoped for
Not unexpected
Still unpredicted
Tears without rhyme
Laughter sans reason
That spins 
And sends
Then spikes the heart rate 

It addicts

It tricks

Who beckons who
