The Heat

from The Lam by noraa kaplan

/

lyrics

I hate it here.
The humid doggone
days of summer
as unapologetic as ants.

They call the heat
oppressive
for a reason. It’s times
like these the grass
isn’t even greener,
just dead and preferable
to the flies.

I linger at the freezer,
take a little too long
to fish out
those toaster waffles
from the box.

One time I told my therapist
summer is transphobic,
she did not know what to say
to that. Is it “queer”
to drag the seasons
for making me ugly?

I wipe the sweat
from my neck
and make a problematic
joke.
