Sweet Summer

Its a scorching afternoon,
walking back in the sun

An unnecessary lecture
Why did I bother to go?

Reach the hostel room,
Open the door

Its so cool !!
Look around

barely working fans humming along
windows blacked out with newspapers, today's too

Slow songs on a the PC
and the smell of Zhandu Balm

You smile and join your roomates
Another great afternoon nap.
