Pieces of You

��� This Week's Topic : Your Choice

My choice? Hmmm. Summer's End.

Vacations are all over and the heat's winding down. The ads in the papers and magazines all cry out back to school. I have no school to go back to, just the drudgery of my semi-fulltime, all the time crazy job.

Soon the amusement parks will be still, the last coaster will pull into the station, until next year.

The bright summer colors will turn into the deep ruddy hues of autumn and the liveliness of the children playing outside will fade away too.

The morning commute will once again contain big yellow buses, stopping at ever block along the way, those once happy children climbing aboard and going back to classes.

Lazy days spent by the pool will be replaced by long days raking leaves and in time shoveling snow.

Where have the months gone?

Where has my life gone?

Summer is again at an end.
