For the last week or so I seem to have lost my senses

The weather has been hot and have not wanted to waste it

As when the cooler weather arrives (and mark me it will)

I will think of these sun drenched days with a great sadness

I will stop my travels now as I know that I am harming myself

Not physically but mentally for I am driving with my eyes closed

Even if they are wide open and and fixed on the road ahead

I am fooling no one but myself and now must learn how to tread water
