Summer Heat

 This morning I was having a little bit of 

Nostalgia.

I woke up hot, but a cool breeze was coming off the 

ceiling fan, so I stuck 

One

leg out the covers. 

Lol; immediately I was transfered back to 

my childhood home.

Back to a time  in Memphis when the nights were

Sweltering hot and

my Sister and I would wake up and stand in front

of the 

window unit

with our night gowns over our heads.

Sometimes I'd be so tired I couldn't even make the twelve steps

to the living room 

so I'd resort to sticking one leg out the covers 

for a few seconds.

Only just a few seconds. Anything longer

and I would freeze.

So this morning as I stuck that one leg out...

I remembered.

It was nice.
