Summer Slumbers

If you're a teenager and your high school has let off for summer break, you would probably be the most ecstatic person on earth.
What's queer about summers is that, while the days seem longer, we tend to turn nocturnal.
Here I am jabbing at my keyboard at 3 in the morning(shhh!) with my headphones on and the volume turned up high.
Have you ever noticed that the epitome of a Utopian summer 'freak-out' concerns slumber parties, midnight movies, night clubs etc.
The listless couch potatoes of the morn mystically transform into the life of the party by night.
While the sun is glowering outdoors at noon, the only insane nomads of daylight are workaholics choking and retching with their stifling, horribly fluorescent ties; the rest of the world is under covers, with slumber kissed eyelids and the adrenaline pumping energy of a sloth.
Yes, we, humans are exotic creatures.
We choose to rest while the animals frisk in the glory of radiance and warm light and while they hibernate with peaceful arrogance in the bitter, biting cold months of unforgiving Winter, we are alive with esprit, up and running!
