Too Much Sun and Shade

They said the sun would be sweltering today humid air, thick and oppressive yellow red if you can, stay in the shade, don't play; put on sunscreen or you'll burn sit in the shadow fringes beneath a tree, tall and climbing, safe, secure, protected seemingly innocuous in every turn ignoring the guidance, sunscreen idling, after all, I was in hiding; between twelve and three I slept lounging in the tinge cast upon my silhouetted image the sun rays fell with scorching warm neglect and as I rose, dark pink exposed my grimace; an ache, a pain, an unsoothed sunburn covered half my uncovered body pained in waking, when will I ever learn this lazy day endeavor now aching, sizzling as if burning bacon.
