heatwave (climate change is here)

sweat rolling down my back,

ice cold once it meets frozen peas,

pressed on my lower back,

water ring on the wooden table,

seltzer chilly and fresh,

computer complaining about the heat,

it's time to put the frozen peas,

under my tired homework screen,

my dad got ice cream for dessert,

i don't remember the last time he did,

i won't be able to sleep tonight,

we are not used to heat waves,

89 degrees in late may,

feels like a sunny day in late July.
