August 01, 2010 2:31 PM OK - my first ever post:
I lounge in the silence of the smothering heat
Unable to schmooze with my notebook or my computer,
My weather-induced lethargy making any creativity a taboo act
To be reissued maybe in September when the air crisps up.
For right now, in this festering fog of humidity
No matter how much I want or try to share myself
Any attempts at penning fresh ideas would be merely a Titanic love
Doomed to produce a counterfeit autobiography,
A homicide of my soul.

I'm loving this piece!
