the earth is beginning to blister beneath the sweltering sun
children playing grills talking tells me summer has arrived
yet i stand in skepticism trusting just one sense
ignoring the evidence i only feel the cold
the space i occupy has whirling winds tossing me like a salad and when it stops i am dazed and confused and still cold
the chill in my skin disregards the sun on my face while
disrespecting the beauty of life in motion before me
i stare at this scene and decide it must be a fictitious account of what i long for because my ears ache my fingers are numb and i'm walking on bricks can't feel my feet
when i arrive home i reach for the thermostat already on 90
turn off the lights and as i drift off the dream of a better tomorrow begins
