If  anyone has the right to inveigh against the weather
It’s me, folks - it’s me.
If anyone plans to stay indoors all day
It’s me, folks - it’s me

If anyone’s thermometer reads 120 degrees
It’s mine, folks - it’s mine
If anyone’s TV says Dangerous Heat Warning
It’s mine, folks - it’s mine

If anyone wonders why they live here
It’s me folks - it’s me
If anyone says the sunrise is worth it
It’s me, folks it’s certainly me.

10 days of 120 degree heat with no cool-down at night.  I must be nuts.  That sunrise tomorrow better be pretty **** spectacular.
Well its another day
I made it well am I supposed
To feel cheered up
Drinking smoking lounging or
Sofa laying playing
Video games enjoy the simple  
Lames of the pangs
Or am I too up my chakra study
Learn to meditate
From mistakes grow my mental
Estate form a state
Of peace from deep within the
Stables of grief
No relief older sounds better than
Old young is sold
Because people fear aging huh I
Love it very much
So think went from crawling to a cane
Now I'm insane

It is an easy mistake to think that non-talkers are non-feelers.

And they aren't shy
there is always a wild side to an innocent face

Deep exhaustion
Slow through the bones
Quavering peaks
Intoned

Wake the restless
Here no sleep
Fitful flurries
Creep

Crashing pumps
Reeled in time
Bare your claws
Fine

Deep exhaustion
Slow through the bones
Dragged limbs
Intoned

Deep exhaustion
Slow through the bones
Hurried hashes
Honed

you,
and me,
we are,
unified souls,
simply, united,
an unbreakable set,
underway, sailing,
like ship and sea,
this two-way street,
you,
and me,
we are,
us. [one].

This year’s Estival
Was supposed to be the best of all
But a Chinese pandemic
Gave us something not to mimic

Too easy.
