Not the Fall


My cellphone says

It’s 106 degrees today

Feels like 108

So 60 year old me

Took the portable air conditioner

Out of my daughter’s bedroom

She’s living with her mother now anyway

And I am luxuriating in a 75 degree blast

As I sit at my particle board desk

With the usual circulating fan to my left

And Zoom poetry into poets

That they may be inspired

To forget about the weather

For a few wavering lines

And breathe out their souls
