[baltimore summer]

[feels like]
concrete beneath my feet
smooth glass between my fingers
sweat-soaked shoulders
firm floors and flimsy pillows
greasy blue jeans
euphoria

[tastes like]
hand-rolled cigarettes
sweet iced tea
salty, sweat-coated skin
spicy peanut-butter ramen
metallic warm blood

[smells like]
gasoline mixed with rain
dark roast coffee
shampooed hair
sweet white smoke
dirty wet garbage

[sounds like]
hiss of an espresso machine
"do you have any change?"
gentle strum of a ukulele
flick of a lighter
computer keys clicking
intoxicated laughter

[looks like]
towering skyscrapers
flickering neon bar signs
dirty bathrooms
lush green grass
warm eyes
