Nothing seemed to make my thirst go away
but the cold bottle of water I carried with me on this
hot day.
No wind in sight to cool me off as I headed back inside
hoping from some rain to come and cool things down.
For my thirst was becoming the only thing that was cooling off
besides the fans inside.
blowing hard to keep me cool on this long and brutal night.
