it is
HOT
outside
the air is thick
to breathe
i’ve started sweating
at the elbows
and even i
am getting
uncomfortable
[but i’d still rather be outside,
though in the shade or breeze,
than inside where the a/c has been blasting
so hard, i start shivering…
shivering!
in the summertime!]
[maybe that’s a reason
to move to
paris…]
and now i’m outside again
in the sweaty hot humidity of the noonday sun
summer has surely come
and i’m not feeling it in any way
except the heat
why do i yearn
for the hot hot hot climate
yet once it’s here
in my own back/front/side yard
i’m exhausted
can’t sleep
can’t wake up
walking feels like swimming
and breathing feels like dying
but i know
once it gets colder
my body rejects the climate
in other ways
(as does my brain)
so i suppose i’ll just
be a sleepy ball of sweat
for the next however many months
and enjoy not being a depressed icicle with nerve-pain
for what seems like
every
single
day
till the end of time
