Summer time In DC Drinking Ice Tea

Summer time In DC Drinking Ice Tea


Summertime in DC
The weather is hot
and humid,

Political madness
blaring from the TV.

outside
like a sauna
tropical misery
everywhere.

thunder storms
heavy rain
flash floods.

inside cranking up
the Aircon
until it is too cold.

I sit and try
To cope
Watching the news
Filled with political nonsense
Nothing makes sense anymore.

Turning off the news
Listening to the blues.

Drinking ice cold
Iced coffee, tea, and lemonade
Staying cool ,
Trying to beat the heat.

As the world turns
Ignoring me
And my complaints.

I drink my iced tea
And smile,
At the absurdity
Of it all.
