Lillie - Heat

Escaping the heat
is an impossible feat
Whirling  around the dashboard,
palpable.
Seat belt metal is
perpetually burning.
Air-conditioning weakly
pushing warm air.
Windows down, sleeves rolled, hair up, shades on.
Escaping the heat is an impossible feat, but at least I stay cool.

Lillie, age 17
