one hundred degrees

it's a very hot
day so you take
off all your clothes
except for your
underwear
and go out into
the back yard
where you spray
yourself with your
garden hose.
your neighbor
looks out her window
and sees what
you're doing
and comes out too.
spray me, she
says, taking off
her clothes. before
you know it the
whole block is in
your yard in
their underwear
getting sprayed
with your long
green hose.
soon drinking is
involved. someone
makes a nice clam dip
with chips. another
person brings jello.
it doesn't take long
before everyone
has forgotten how
annoying everyone
else is and squeal with
delight as a gush
of water hits
them in the head.
