Newcomers to the city expect the rain to carry away the heat of Summer, surprise it might happen for about a minute or two. Then the extra moisture in the air hits you like a hammer wrapped in a big hot wet towel. Get over it. This is nothing, it isn't August yet. That is still two weeks away. You haven't felt anything yet. It would be cruel to say, "stay cool", but with a snowball, and an air conditioner, you have the basics of summer survival.

Washing away the Heat.
Newcomers to the city expect the rain to carry away the heat of Summer, surprise it might happen for about a minute or two. Then the extra moisture in the air hits you like a hammer wrapped in a big hot wet towel. Get over it. This is nothing, it isn't August yet. That is still two weeks away. You haven't felt anything yet. It would be cruel to say, "stay cool", but with a snowball, and an air conditioner, you have the basics of summer survival.
Boxes
Boxes are everywhere. I don't see the one I am in. It is my box. I've been in it so long it feels like home. I know that limiting myself to the confines of comfort and conformity, the range of possibilities is small and this knowledge is no comfort at all. Contradictions and community collide with the announcement that I now have seen the limitations and even though it is frightening I speak out and ask....do you have any staples?
