Biagia - Heat


Escaping the heat in New Orleans
Would be a tremendous but
Unrealistic feat
Which is why instead of escaping it,

We embrace it.
We brave the streets, snow ball in hand;
Wandering from one air conditioned store to the next
Until the sun goes down and we wait
For the next day when the sun comes up and
its time to brave the heat again
