I remember 
the first time I saw it, 
the sun beating down on my face. 
The other kids laughing and playing to their heart's content 
brings a smile to my face 

I jump in my friend's car.

It's filled basically to the brim.

The area is small and compact.

How did she fit this many people in her tiny car?

It’s loud and rumbling, as if seething with unrestrained anger. Like a thunderstorm trapped beneath the surface of the water, desperate to break free.
