It’s cold

It’s not really cold. It’s 68°F.

it’s cold enough to wear jeans & a shirt & a jacket

It’s cold compared to the heat of the summer

just a few days ago When all you could manage was a flop

Your brain didn’t work you ate a lot of ice cream & popsicles,

there was no relief

now it’s cold

It’s not cold it’s 68°F

But the distractions don’t work anymore

You can be in your body and now you can think

the thinking

The summer has been pissed away

Down hill since the solstice That was almost two moths ago

Now what?

The cats sleep, the crickets chirp different birds every day

It’s cold

It’s not really cold it’s 68° f

It takes every effort to know you are drowning

can you see the shoreline

You know how to swim

But will drowning be so bad

Should you swim?

Just kick move your arms

breathe

It’s cold

It’s not really cold. It’s 68°F.
