Today August 29th, 2021 sluggishness dogs yours truly

Forecasting to thunderous applause

fast as greased lightning draws
upon futuristic atmospheric gewgaws

hot air emanates out these slackened jaws

spluttering courtesy indentured maws

armed with four footed tall paws

gesticulations resembling horizontal seesaws.

Humidity felt across every square inch

covering these lovely bones,

which pores will dribble perspiration

bracing for onset when

meteorological conditions

spell utter lethargy, I unroll the welcome mat
and present global warming!

Every year I seem less tolerant

when oppressive climate

(specifically merciless heat waves)

blasts one anachronistic, dogmatic, and generic

garden variety weatherbeaten Homo sapiens

reduced to torpid inert state.

Central air conditioning quickly
found this creature comfortably acclimated,

who defies, contradicts, bumps uglies...

up against rugged individualist,
yet he meekly professes

spouting ideal survivalist ethos

admitting actual propensity as

nothing else matter
barely distinguishable traits differentiating

yours truly among braggarts

visited by the unforgiven sandman

exhibiting all talk no action.

Analogous to weather scorching

the blackest soul,

a similar aversion exists

toward severe wind chill factor temperatures

plunging mercury way below zero.

When regarding conditions linkedin

with extreme heat index

smothering Perkiomen Valley,

this bloke (residing what seems

since time immemorial

at Highland Manor Apartments) burrows

when heart touched by fire

into sixty degree Fahrenheit

fella climate control mancave,

thus adieu go doldrums

figuratively strait jacketing

yours truly no more.

Unlike luxury to chill out (literally)

back quite scores of years ago

central air conditioning absent

imposing grueling hardship

no deliverance afforded tender vittle Earthling.

When referenced human (me),

he formerly (passively) weathered
humid, hot, and hazy
dog days of summer,

during his boyhood at 324 Level Road.

Said storied estate with manicured formal gardens

lacked luxuriating aforestated amenity
regarding cool (temperature wise) climate control

introducing anonymous reader
familiar or otherwise

regaling modest literary versatility,

whereby yours truly average bloke

Fahrenheit dealt with temperatures
registering bajillion blistering degrees.

Especially upper level housing bedrooms

about half dozen steps above landing

suddenly experiencing indisputable
scientific principle hot air rises

undermining ability to function,
no more active matter rendered lifeless,

but rather equally inert think deathlessness
as an inanimate object

mainly cuz estate - complex edifice
formerly christened "Glen Elm"
built approximately turn of

twentieth century abode -

once encompassed

one hundred plus acre demesne

unfortunately long since razed
(initially intended as summer retreat)

preceding never incorporating
said modern HVAC conveniences,

now no modern building

lacked fantastic amenities,
plus ability to tolerate hardship

much more omnipresent
before yours truly

racked quite numerous
orbitz round the sun

versus now, when
greater sensitivity prevails,

I admit pioneer spirit plummeted,

and if forced to forego
custom tailored environment
would be immovable prey,
for even the most

harried styled counting crow king carrion,

which admission would

only present challenge

predicated on severe disruption

compromising being hermetically
sealed, linkedin, cocooned...
within man-made dwelling

hardship analogous no name brand
garden variety slug

essentially homeless snail

shell lacked with mew cuss.
