The weather is scorching.

It’s really very hot.

I’m dripping beads of sweat.

Comfortable, I am not.

One hundred degrees

Is not for me.

An air conditioned home

I’d rather see.

But my air conditioner doesn’t work,

And so I sit here and sweat.

I’m too poor to have it fix.

Because I’m in terrible debt.

I’m going to a cheap movie

To get away from the heat.

After all, it’s better

Than rotting like spoiled meat.
