fifteen

it's
so
damn
hot
in this fucking city
it's like a never-ending
sherman's march;
the whole place
is on fire.

even when it rains
water just melts into steam
and the sky turns to haze
it's not even blue

when you shower,
you don't dry off
you just stay that sticky wet
and you always feel dirty
because the windows rolled down
aren't nearly enough

and so i have to stay inside
this manufactured cool
when all i want is just to
get
out
of
here
