(The Charm Of) Air Conditioning

By December 27, 2024Poetry

The heat
          is a beast —
                    no bark,
                              all bite.

It nibbles
          my neck,
                    it chews
                               at my crotch.

Its tongue
          licks my
                    armpits.

Its saliva
          tickles
                    as it
                       dribbles
                                  down
                                         my
                                              s
It hunts me                                i
       relentlessly.                            d
       My only defense                      e
              is to  huddle                       s
       inside my cave,                          .
         warding off                              .
            the beast
                 with                                 .
                 my
        modern
technology
 magic.
