Jul 2010
I learned upon arriving
In this sauna they call summer
That it becomes intolerable around July
We came to know it
As AC jumping weather
You know?
Jump from air conditioning
in the house
to AC in the car
then AC at the store
or in the mall
Can't stand to be outside
for more then a few  moments
Or the melt down starts
You drip until you are soaked
And the air is so thick
with humidity
your lungs feel like a wet spung
No breeze
Everything sticks to you
The bugs
The dust
And all the ****
you touch
Why can't it be spring
All Summer?
Nice breezes
Highs in the seventies
The smell of new
Of awaking
Of green
Of LIFE
Six weeks gone
Trapped within
The AC
Bottled up
And
At least six more to go
Should be a law against
Such a thing
Mean while
We are
Sufferin' a Sizzelin' Summer
**AGAIN!
