Watermelon Surge No.006

Watermelon Surge

It's summer, I'm nine years old, the east coast air is thick and wet.

We live in the projects but at least theres a community pool

I learn to swim.

Did I mention it's hot?

Jason & Chrissy are there, they are my friends.

Mom brings a bowl of cold watermelon

The flavors hit me like a surge.
