The Evening Series: Sunday, September 3, 2017
The night is so hot and still that when I farted, I can taste it from the air. The temperature in the house is around 90 something degrees, and I swear if I die, the ants looking for water in the kitchen will cover my body. Even now, I’m not sure if it’s sweat from my head, or an actual insect is running freely in my inner ear. I can feel a tickle, and it’s not the ha-ha kind.
There’s fire in the hills. One of the reasons why I don’t live in a canyon area is due to nature being challenged by weather conditions and man(person)-made conditions where death and destruction are part of the package. I prefer the world of the concrete or cement buildings. Made by civilization and proud of it. Built to last, if not forever, then a few decades.
The stench of an airless evening. One gets the impression that you can throw a heavy object up in the air, and it will just stay in place. I wonder if I fall, will I hit the ground. What do I know? I can’t even get myself up from the floor.
