hot hot outside
inside so damn cold
even without any a/c
even without the freezing air of summer
in the united states

i wonder how many folks
feel colder in the summer
than the spring and fall
i just want there to be a time of year
when i don’t feel
tragically
mis-taken-care-of
by modern society
or nature

[maybe costa rica really is
the best place to be
for me]
