melting

it's been a rough week.
i spent the better part of it
--hot
--sticky
--irritable
--frustrated at the way things were going
--sick of office politics
--scratching away at the giant swell of mosquito bite on my right foot

i started drinking coffee again.
the heat was making me too sluggish.
while i was talking to someone today,
i had the sensation of being underwater,
my movements
slow and deliberate
my mouth opening and closing

the sound coming in faintly
as if from a far distance.
