The Door to my Room is Ever Closed

The fan over head spins

gently, good for nothing but

making sounds.

So hot in my room.

Sweat falls in beads

down my neck and back.

The spackle on the ceiling

looks as if it could pop like

kettlecorn.

This leads to more high

expectations. 104 degrees

tends to raise everybodys

expectations of life;

they rise with the thermometer.

I keep my door closed

to the heat,

and stay out of life's kitchen.
