Julia - Heat

I jump in pools with my clothes and shoes onto get out of the heat
I dive my face into snowballs
to escape the heat

I walk into stores with a/c that sell maternity clothes
to get out of the heat
I jump on buses to the unknown
to get out of the heat
We will almost do anything in New Orleans
to get out of the heat

Julia, age 17
