A dose of my childhood
Nostalgic and fair, faintly dreamy.
Reminding me of endless summer, warm and humid.
An uncomfortable feeling to be sure.
Yet memories still flood.
Never far from my mind.
Always faint but never fleeting.
Coffee and Cigarettes.
Dew before the sun had taken it.
Something akin to innocence though did we ever have any at all.
A dose of my childhood and here I stand.
Reminiscent and reminded.

Author's Note
Just a small memoir about my childhood and how smell can trigger those memories and was a test to see how well I could use words to express my feelings in moments like this.

Solid poem. When I smell limes I think about my grandmother's house in Puerto Rico. How she would make lemonade and limeade fresh in the mornings. Haha I also remember the little ants floating in my drink... good good memories.
