105

whenever i walk outside here in Mississippi,
the weather is always before me
it is so dang hot today...
somewhere Al Gore is counting his money!
but then again,
it is always this hot here in June..
humidity is 93%,
the temp is 97 degrees
the "heat index", (whatever that is)
is 105 in the shade..
even the grass is wet,
and it hasn't rained.
somehow,
this is like life in the spirit
you can apply the metaphor however you see fit..
my soul is moved by it,
moved to lie on the couch with my dog and watch soccer.
