happiness and heat

it's hot today
and
often
hot
around here

what are you going to do?
go out into the heat a little, with
a hat
walk
ride a bike
don't stay too sheltered

and still:
nice to cool
the house
off at night
by opening the windows,
and then
keep the house
more or less
cool
by
shutting the windows
in the day

everyone knows
that

some still use
air conditioners

oh, well

global
warming:
we all try
to do a little bit

and what is good
for our health:

loving what is
always
takes the stress
way
away

so:
some way to love
the heat
seems a grand idea

I say:
plant tomatoes

then even when we are hot,
at least they are charging forward
into something delicious
for
us
to eat
