The air smells of hot, dry grass trampled underfoot.

It smells of diesel, of cider and cigarettes and burgers

and ice cream and the end of things.

The end of summer.

The end of us: of Steffan and Jared and me.

1. What is coming to an end?

2. Look at the smells. What kind of summer is 'us' having?

3. Think of summer. What smells feel like summer to you?
