i keep trying to think of things to tell you today
and i'm not having trouble
trying to think of them
they're tumbling out
smothering each other
but the one that chews it's way to the top is
BLAST FURNACE
it really wasn't that hot today
90 said my phone
real feel 93
nothing
but
you'd go outside
and it was like the surface of the sun
and
i had no traffic
zip, zap i'm there
i stopped, got gas, drove pointlessly around
filling the time with driving that was supposed to be drive time
until, finally, i said
this is stupid, i said
i parked, windows down
i'll just wait
i use the google
i look up the weather where you are
where i think, you are
i do that, sometimes
i got a whole list on my phone
plus
some places i want to go
and
taipei
taipei was pre programmed
and by the time i got around to deleting it
i realized
it's almost always raining
in taipei
when
my phone, gives me
the weather
it plays it out for me
so i get
raindrops and lightning and thunder
taipei stays
and it's still hurricane season
tracking the gulf
but there's been a little fall, just a little
this has been a mild season
nothing at all to complain about
and complain'n well that never does any good anyway
summer didn't even start till may
but today
i was sitting in the car
actually kind of enjoying sweating
i mean, seriously pouring sweat, maybe it will dislodge blocked pores
no
it's getting creepy obsessive with the skin
i closed the window
and sat there with the air conditioner running
i can't remember what i thought
that's weird, right
it wasn't just me, the heat
everybody noticed it
have you been out there
