Boy, it’s hot, sitting in my chair while the heat rises outside
I contemplate what I can do
What I’m not doing
What I should do
What cooler weather looks like especially back home
What it feels like not to be paralyzed by forces unseen
What life would look like not under a cloud of extreme temperatures
I think of lost loves
I think of unfinished projects undone, blamed on the heat
I think about hiding at the beach where cold waves soothe my heart
I think I would solve all my problems in the cooling rain like on a Hawaiian vacation
I think, I overthink
What about this
What about that
Waiting to be released from my stuckness despite the heat
