you know it's hot when you don't have to go to the bathroom at all because your body is secreting waste entirely through your sweat glands.

The thing that makes me happiest, the thing I wish I could do forever, is to laugh.

Stew

Stew
When I think about all the things in this world
that I can't do because there's just not enough time
and never enough money,
I simmer loneliness to refine bitterness.


Off-Kilter
The grocery store on a busy day always makes
me cranky and nervous and sad. With your arms full of groceries,
you tie my infantile tongue and trip me on your invitation.
Milk, detergent, apples, spinach?
You make me cranky and nervous and mad.


Inside
Is just as dusty as outside and hotter.
