it was so hot

It was so hot last night we lay on the couch

Watching a documentary about Siberia

Letting the below zero temperatures into our brains

Forgetting to turn on the bed room air conditioner.

It was so hot earlier that you agreed to go shopping

Just to walk around in the air conditioning

Instead of our usual perambulation around the park

Where the black-eyed susans droop and wither in the heat.

Waking in the night and checking the temperature

Still too hot to turn on the attic fan to suck cool air into the house.

Walking slowly on the shady side of the street in the morning

Still sweating profusely from the little exercise.

Studying the weather forecast asking when the heat will break

We are spared the torrential rains and flooding in the southeast.

We don’t have the broiling heat and wildfires in the southwest.

We don’t have to work outside in the hot afternoon sun.

It’s summer.  It’s as hot as it gets.

Get in a cool place if you can and chill out.
