8.20
tonight there was the loudest cricket
i was sure you would hear it
through the phone
but you couldn't
tomorrow night we will sit together
if there is a cricket
you will hear it
8.22
humidity lurked outside the door
fogging the glass
seventy-two degrees should feel warm
but humidity trumps temperature
every time
and my arms were all raised goosebumps
and stand-up soft hairs
my legs were all raised goosebumps
wrecking the smooth shave from this morning
