Notes About The Poem
image from pinterest.com
FRIZZY-HAIRED MASCOT
Humidity didn’t just arrive today~
it descended,
a damp celestial overlord
turning Texas into its own personal terrarium.
My clothes clung to me
like needy toddlers
refusing to be put down.
The air grew so thick
I considered cutting a doorway through it
just to walk to the kitchen.
The frizzy-haired squirrel
became humidity’s chosen mascot,
Even the sky looked exhausted~
sweaty, sagging,
like it needed a cold drink
and a long nap.
And still humidity whispered,
with the confidence of a moist tyrant:
You’re not going anywhere dry today.
