heavy summer

The heat index and the wobbling in my legs got me off of the pavement yesterday and onto a city bus. I fell asleep--I can't help sleeping on the city buses. I know, there are better times and better places. But I always do nod off, my head bobbing forward and then back. The soft lady beside me who liked to talk about her diabetes couldn't even shock me into full consciousness. I am just that tired. When I finally made home I fell asleep again on my back in bed, my laptop balanced poorly on my ribs. This is the heavy part of the summer.
