July’s sun’s scorching heat beaming through the lazy ozone
Melting into your barbequed skin, and
Frying your frizzy, damaged hair with the gruesome stench of
Perspiration eating the fresh air around you while the
Intense humidity leaves a sticky layer of sweat on your
Blazing sunburned skin that no
Cosmetic cream can alleviate while being
Forced to listen to sultry, desperate, and cantankerous
Children beg their stressed, fatigued parents for cool air.

You either have to love July, or hate it.
