i am melting

it is in the nineties, and i am sweating whenever i come to rest in one spot
i have to make this quick
because i am melting

this is the local pool
i have a pass
it has been so blaringly hot the i didn't even go today
is that the silliest thing you have ever heard or what?

i am not the biggest wuss ever, because i lived in asia for years
and in humidity that made my hair curl
but i must be out of practice
and i am feeling
well
highly unproductive and a shade
hot

i look for a breeze
everywhere and anywhere
my dog and i did go to the river and take a dip
everyone and their mother was there
is was rather sweet
but we still got out and felt lethargic
can i write myself a pass for this week?
too hot to really do much except whine
and read trashy summer novels
and get sick on sorbet
'cuz it feels so good and cold going down
