It was one of those really hot summer days
The kind that you can feel on every inch of your body
The kind that paint a damp coat over your skin
And it feels heavy
And if you are outside
You better at least be within
Close proximity of some form of water or another

We were on our way to the river
It felt like such a perfect day
In the most peculiar of ways
I don't think I ever stopped smiling
Not once

On the interstate
Windows down
Riding in the back of my friend's 1990 Oldsmobile
The wind is hard at my face
But feels soft on my skin
I can hear cheery music playing faintly in the background
And I feel infinite
And honest
I feel bright and lovely
Radiant and rapturous
Completely and utterly
Infinite

I feel a coolish drop of sweat
Slide down the back of my leg
Slower
Then faster
And faster
Then slow again
And I sit here and think about
How I am going to write a poem
About this later
