Sincerely, Jennifer x

Summer was wicked and ridiculous,
stretching out and smiling, like a satisfied cat,
fickle feline,
finding joy in my futile clock watching.
Why is my struggle so entertaining?
It’s not even just the heat,
it’s the endless hours,
the endless echoes of my dreams and desires,
dripping back into my ear.
It must end,
at some point.
