“Waiting. Just waiting, in wet heat. A little more whiskey please”

Waiting. Just waiting, in wet heat. A little more whiskey please.  Turn the fan up. The amenities.  No food yet, thank you.  I’ll feel better later. It’s too hot to read.  I think: do I have everything I need,  stomach & mouth?  A little more whiskey, please. In this terrible state  I hope I’m paying for my sins at any rate.  There must be some point to it.  It’s very hard to think with the fan so high  but I seem to remember times when Henry was happy  without particularly deserving it.  They say the temperature will drop with dark  and after all my lecture rooms are air-conditioned.  It’s that the actual brain won’t work  before or afterward, so that everything has to be done there.  I must be paying for some very special sin  this summer. A little more shiskey.
