The density of the tropical air can be expressed by the absence of will, the abundance of moisture, and the undeniable, impending, dehydration I know so well. So yes, it's pretty **** hot, much hotter than the thermometers indicate. Like I break a sweat bending over to tie my shoes. Or how my town has more fixtures dedicated to air conditioning service than diesel and petrol After this realization it will rain for just enough time for me to decide if I want hot coffee or tea to celebrate the coming mists, the dark clouds, the cool breezes and I anticipate shivering for the first time in a long, long time. But it doesn't matter, because after a brief moment the skies empty and bestow upon us blinding sunshine and even more humidity. So I solemnly turn off the gas under the tepid kettle like the unrequited lust of a teenager and the few precious droplets of water that collected on the concrete disappear
