Ode to My Ac
Ever year, another hot summer,
 Never fails, from May to September
 Scorching sun just over head.
 Beating, broiling, blazing, burning
 Like fire on my skin.
 As soon as I step inside,
 Whether it’s a car, a bus, or a building,
 I turn the air conditioning on.
 As it kicks into full blast,
 Quickly, the feeling of relief 
 Overflows through my body,
 Like a fire being put out
 My skin begins to sizzle,
 Smoke rises up, looking for an escape.
 As the fresh air rushes after it,
 Converting it
 Making it a replica.
 Sweat particles freeze on my face
 As I brush them away
 Small storms of hail hit the floor,
 No longer parched, just full of relief
 Comfortable inside, just gazing out
 Into the hazardous inferno.
 Many, like me just peeking
 Trying to catch a glimpse of what it’s like, 
 To see what it does.
 Forgetting their own experience just minutes ago
 Very few, not smart but insane, 
 Maybe even curious, people
 Step out Again
 Being burned, marked and claimed by the sun 
 Turning into ashes, just to repeat it again
 I prefer to stay in my ac
 And just be an observer
