Humidity

Steamy subway platforms

dewy windows

Air so thick

you can chew it

Ah yes, I remember you...

Humidity.

We prayed for summer

for tank tops and tans

thinking Vitamin D

would wash away the blues

but we forgot...

Humidity.

Breathing through water

mascara sliding down sticky skin

tempers flaring

and pungent smells of remnants

left by carelessness.

Humidity.

Why the fuck did I straighten my hair today?
