Hot desert heat envelopes me
Like a wool blanket
Even after the sun goes down, the thermometer still registers 98 degrees
Hot
Heavy
Heat
Wrapping around my brain
Families with kids eating pizza by the pool
Tattoos and hard black bodies
Red swim trunks on a football players body
Soaking in the solar rays
Energy
Heat
Vacation
Where will we all be at this time next year?
The young hotel worker on a break. Smoking. Looking down from his perch
Sizing everyone up
Wondering what I'm writing about
Hot wind like the breath of a dragon
I feel very disconnected from these people
Too many for a small hotel pool
Are the kids peeing in there?
Ambient mood music coming from 6 wall speakers around the chemical-filled liquid cool
