We sat around in 40 ̊C

in our underwear

and fan
and a wet cloth

over the fan
and cubes of ice
in our mouths.
So many love songs

about keeping

each other warm, but

so few
about keeping

each other cool
in this fucking heat.

I’m sweating

thru my balls. It’s

a real prick.

You can take em

off.

I did /

was

naked now.
