Long Hot Summer<br />
Summer clings offensively like the stench of garlic breath.<br />
Leaves have changed their color but the heat hangs oppressively.<br />
Grass, neither green nor growing, is shredded wheat brown.<br />
Soil is parched and dry like an overheated kettle.<br />
The air is still, pressing against one’s nostrils until the body screams for release.<br />
Where does Indian Summer go when its overstayed its welcome<br />
