the memory and the nose
smells i remember:
- idyllwild, outside
- hot dusty pine, sun on skin, walking from air conditioning to practice, hormones in the air and a long skirt around my waist.
- summer school in the morning
- sullen, a little chilly, quiet, a sense of displacement, sharpened pencils.
- the showers of computer camp
- “passion fruit” shower gel and cold grey concrete, warm with anticipation.
- summer vacation
- sun coming in the kitchen windows, quiet, the smell of greeny-brown things.
they’re all related to summer and the morning.

Perhaps that is because the combination of heat and dew causes a lot of movement of damp air and thusly a lot of smell dispersal.
It is a hypothesis.
Also, summer mornings rock.

must've never had calculus at 8am during the summer.
