Personal Summer



She fans her face throughout the day
the ac drops begin
I bundle in my warmest clothes
then terror strikes again

The ac s off the heat now on
I take off all my clothes
She slips into her winter coat
sweat dripping on my toes

It's twenty two degrees outside
I think she's lost her mind
A guy can only take so much
I think I'll drink more wine
