What is it?

In an attempt to get a wonderful cross-breeze going

I request to keep a second window open in the summer

Two measly feet are all that can be yielded

Behold the generic Amazon tape

Used to protect the already damaged screen

After two summers

The pinnacle, bedroom crossing, nirvana of wind

and summers sweaty, insistent kiss

Has yielded moderate results

Fall encroaches

And yet my soul

Has not been fully mended

Who's fault is this?

A series of exciting jackets

To meet with Autumn's beautiful , stimulating chill

Is sure to do the trick

I will be free

I find comfort in knowing what comes next

From a spiritual perspective

The more you try

The more you suffer

Clouds are happy to greet you

Everyday

In a variety of forms

Some punishing

Scientists now say comfort is the function

of a variety of chemicals

trying to find a balance

Which have been conveniently bottled

Available now, in stores

Buddhism says the universe you live in

Is just a particle, of a bigger universe

So take comfort

In knowing

You have no idea where you are
