This Heat Is Absolutely Killing Me

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter. - Thoreau

'twas an ambiguous, corpulent, august day

a bald sun hid behind pouting clouds

melting into a sudor of oblivion

you could cut the ambience with a chain saw

i swear i was sweating grenades

smoking an ordnance of cigarettes with plenty of "ifs" and no "butts"

as i fanned myself with barbed wire

a real nuclear offensive

never a white flag around when you need one

Author's Note

"In August, the large masses of berries, which, when in flower, had attracted many wild bees, gradually assumed their bright velvety crimson hue, and by their weight again bent down and broke their tender limbs." - Thoreau

Wow, it must have really been hot. I will say, since we are in the death grip of winter, reading about August's heat right now felt nice. : )

Some very cool lines in this one, very creative my friend.
