let's swing

it's too hot
to work. too hot to do
anything
but sit in the shade
on the porch seat,
and swing,
wave
to people going by.
bring ice tea, a fan
to make
a breeze.
set the radio nearby
and listen to the game,
makes
no difference who's
playing,
strike one,
or three.
it's too hot to do much,
but lie back,
and swing, come join me.
