Summer 1971
Dinkytown U.S.A. Dumpy rooming house, cramped cubicle in attic, seventy-two square feet.
Hotter than Hades. Porthole window, screwed shut.
No air — anywhere.
Rapid breathing, sweating, racing heart. Was that a wheeze? Yikes, blue-ish skin.
Shelve those thoughts.
Type words — any words —
like “exemplify” and “concomitant.” Paper due tomorrow.
