There is a price
You can avoid sun-sourced heat.
Shut it out, the civilised way.
Sit in air-conditioned rooms,
in cooled car capsules,
in shopping centres.
And you appear to have won out.
You do not sweat. You move
with apparent impunity.
Plants wilt outside but what
do you care behind your window?
Ha! How is your head
the next day? Even though
not a drop of alcohol has
brushed your lips. Your limbs,
your core, your chi, all sapped.
You feel as if you have been run
over by a truck. And you have.
The temperature truck.
Put those active
plans on ice.
