Oh summer, is it fair
That during your reign, we hibernate
Shielding ourselves from the giant fireball in the sky
OnlyĀ getting hotter, your kryptonite-like power
Ā
Thighs sticking together
Then sticking to everything else
Wondering if weĀ peed the bed or if it'sĀ just sweat
You make all thingsĀ moist
Ā
ForcingĀ us to chill red wine
Remove body hair
Wear shorts
It must be summer seasonal disorder
Ā
Mosquitoes
Fuck those things
And ticks
Fuck those things too
Ā
Wildfires, wildfires
The apocalypse outside
Too many nipples that aren't ours
Sunburn all over your body, not just your face
Ā
No
fucking
skiing
Need I say more
Ā
