heat wave

Summer comes in muggy and hot.
My clothes stick to my skin
each time I leave my apartment.
Days float together and time
stops making sense.
Each time I walk outside
I feel like I’m sinking into
a warm swimming pool
that I didn’t choose to
float in but here I am,
floating away down the lazy river
of days of this wildly weird summer.
