My Apartment Was So Hot I Had a Fever Dream (a Poem)

Caroline Betz

Tossing and turning,

Tossing and turning,

I’m so sweaty.

Colors and shapes,

Murder and lies,

I’m so sweaty.

I’m awake?

I’m asleep?

I’m so sweaty.

It’s 75 outside,

And it’s 85 in here,

I’m so sweaty. 

Crazy dreams,

Grumpy roommates,

I’m so sweaty.

Please fix my AC,

I’m going crazy,

I’m so sweaty.
