HOT
In reading this rant, it helps to have
experienced Idaho's peak summer temperatures
with no AC... But I'm sure we can all use
our imaginations.
HOT
My husband was supposed
to fix the swamp cooler last weekend,
but he didn't get around to it.
It's so damn hot today;
my skin is glistening like precious.
I wonder if Cleopatra glistened,
her thick black eyeliner bleeding
into the crevices of her face,
sweat itching under that heavy gold collar...
Even with enough gold collars to buy
one hundred fifty-seven thousand flunkies
to fan ripples in your linen robe,
you'd still be glistening,
dripping from the creases of your royal bod,
wishing someone would hurry up
and invent an air conditioner.
Man, necessity is a mother.

Love this. Was it anything like Fresno?
Oh man, yes. Except worse, because at least in Fresno there are places to swim. Idaho is just ultra dry heat, and there’s just the one river. It’s so overcrowded with people, all tubing with beer… it’s just not the kind of place that makes good swimming.
