heat wave causes deaths
sad comment on modern life
most among homeless
no cool air-conditioning
underneath concrete overpasses

He pointed throught the sunlight
From the kerb edge,
Fiddling with his fingers,
Looking rather silly
It has to be said.
"Turn your air conditioning on"
He bawled.
So slowly
I wound my window down....

keys
   work
      stress
         hot iron
           dirty dishes
      mother-in-law
   mail
chihuahua 
     noisy neighbors
        spill
           cosmetic bag
      air conditioning
   bills
dignity

I saw him sitting there 
so beautiful and sweet
wind swept hair from the
school air conditioning

The desk next to you is empty
and I hear it calling my name
I'm too shy to talk
but my heart longs for you

babe at the desk...

I can’t imagine my life without air conditioning.
Without it my life would just keep burning.
Without ac life would be too hot.
If you asked me to go outside I would not, 
Because it would be too hot,
But I have ac so its not even a thought....

Boiling, baking and blazing,
               Other synonyms for heat.
My camel is happily dazing,
	He was not a restful seat.
Poolside I’ll later be lazing,
	Resting my sunburnt feet.
Air conditioning is amazing,
               Ice cream is a lovely treat....

Aqua blue sled
Thumpity thump thump thump
Children laugh with glee

Thank heavens for air conditioning 
Bumpity bump bump bump
Wheeeee!

Mom mirrors masterpiece The Scream
Declares, “This shall not be forgotten!”
Dad pleads his case,
“But, I put a mattress on the bottom.”...

Program With Great Plan

We want a program with a great plan,
And reach a goal that  we hope it can;
Wonder why;
Try  and Try;
Even if we did have to lift another ban.

Jim Horn

5,901 heading toward 6,000. It has been 
so hot and our air conditioning is not working.
Will try to write more early in the morning....

Food
Water
Electricity
A refrigerator
Air-conditioning and heat
A comfortable bed
These are just a few...
Of many mundane necessities
Readily available to us 
Things we Americans
Take for granted
On a quotidian basis
Sadly so few and far between
In third-world countries

Sometimes I drive to work
listening to nothing except tires rolling
and air conditioning blowing,
few thoughts since I got out of bed,
just reacting to the world and road,
can feel brain shrinking, no heavy load,
no heartache or pain, worries that clatter,
even my duties ahead don’t matter,
till I park, and the day shifts to start....

I shall invent a refrigerator Jake declared.
It has been invented, I replied as loud as I dared.
I will invent air conditioning for a whole house then.
He was smug on the slide; I quickly looked good at him.
Why don’t you just be yourself, and act four-years-old?
I know what I’ll do, he replied. I shall invent silver and gold....

SUNBURN

Sunkisses strike leaving red lipstick marks,
Ubiquitous blush from head to toe.

Nabalm bites raw like tiger sharks,
Blazing with emotional undertow.

Umbrellas arrive with rainbow arcs,
Reinforcement relief with balm and bows.

Naproxen, to bed, air conditioning works!

                       ~Ecstasy in Air Conditioning~




                       Soothe my hot body
                       Bring me cool fresh lemonade  
                       Iced in my amber mug

Having to dwell in the city is a bummer 
whenever it is in the middle of the summer. 
From the cracks in the pavement, you can feel the heat. 
The sun shows no mercy when it hits the concrete. 
I want to get home and out of the street. 
Air conditioning and an ice-cold beer is what I want to meet.

inspired by another member's poem

Summers of years ago windows open --when
On those many nights, young love romance, the
Air moved freely night sounds of the-- Whip-Poor-Will
Remember, remember when they--sang

No longer can I hear the great sounds --when
We were young, for the windows are closed for--the
Air conditioning to work--Whip-Poor-Will
How in great tune were our voices when he--sang...

Summer temperatures are rising,
For the end of July, not surprising
Kids head for the swimming pool,
It's much too hot to be in school
Outdoor workers need hydration,
Tempers flare with mild frustration
The elderly find it hard to breathe,
Air-conditioning brings some relief
And thoughts of December's snow,
Six months and off to Florida we go!

I open my eyes, and you stare at me in awe.
Have you never seen anyone sleep in the raw?
It is a mid-summer night that is quite sultry.
With no air conditioning, this is the way to be.
I am spending the night naturally.
There is nothing to wear that would encumber.
This is the way many other people slumber.
Lady, why don't you come and lay beside me?
First, tell me, do you like what you see?

They rarely need a home I begged
So we built our new mallards a little duck pond
In October, we added a little duck house, up the hill, for protection.
Then of course, a dog bed, which they liked.

We were installing a little heater in Mid-November
but they flew away
Not to worry my neighbor told us. “They will be back in the spring.”
Maybe by then we will not have to install an air conditioning unit in the duck house....

Lord only knows how the settlers survived
When in Arizona's desert they arrived

I visited there in late November
And the piercing heat I still remember

Air conditioning's great invention
Brought to this state renewed attention

The population grew by leaps and bounds
Many homes were built on the sandy mounds

"There's no humidity," some still will say
Yet none survive without AC each day



(AC stands for air conditioning)...

It's another summer night that is quite sultry.
There is no air conditioning without electricity.
After the storm, the electric company has yet to restore
the power we had just two nights before.
It's dark in the bedroom with complete privacy.
I have nothing on, but nobody can see.
Here in this bed, there is only you and me.
From now until we see the first light of day,
let's just sleep here together the natural way.

Summer 1972
I have a brand new baby
I love her to pieces
But I am exhausted

I had no idea babies were this much work
It is not like an eight to five job
It is a twenty-four hour job
It’s hot here

We spend a lot of time in the store
Where they have air conditioning
To cool down

Someone says to my husband 
“I saw your lights on at two a.m. 
Is everything all right?”
My husband says “I wonder why. I wasn’t up.”
I want to kill him....
