When summer begins to fall

You start to notice the sky and the way the sunset hits the buildings, the way the air feels just a little bit different. It’s the notice of a subtle shift, a change in the atmosphere. A reminder that the days are getting shorter and the weather is cooling. I feel this way even when I’m sweating in the heat of the reflecting concrete and radiating tar of the city’s streets. 

Summer, why do you leave us with so little time?
