sweatin it off

outside my skin breaks to a sheen
even walking slow
the air close and tight in my lungs
so stepping indoors
into this climate control
feels like my chest has been opened up
every folicle stands at attention on my arms
and the drip of sweat down the back of my neck
chills me

i am dead in the water today
amidst the doldrums

left thinking of all the things i could or ought to do
to better myself
beneficials instead of these
superficials
