To Cicadas: Your Voice Was the Soundtrack to My Summer

I love hearing the sound of cicadas in the summer. I know some people hate the noise, and think it's obnoxious or all-consuming or bothersome, but for some reason it has always been really calming for me. Maybe it's because when I hear cicadas, I think about lazy summer nights, filled with warm breezes and ice cream and the steady hum of the air conditioner. When I was younger my dad and I would go out on walks at night in the summer looking for cicada shells left behind by those who had already hatched, (molted?) and those who were still encased, ready to break free. I saw one hatching once on the tree outside my house and it was weird and awesome at the same time.  I don't know; I think for me cicada noise will always bring back nostalgic, bittersweet thoughts about summertime, especially since they only come out in mid to late summer. I guess they're also a constant; something I've grown up with, and something I always look forward to. So here's to you, ya little creepy-looking insects - I guess you're kind of awesome.
