Twenty Two In 88 By Suzae Chevalier Poem by Suzae Chevalier

I was twenty two
In nineteen eighty eight
in a small apartment with
no air conditioner as my fate.
It was very hot one month straight
Over 90 degrees for more than a month

it was unbearable really tough.
I would stay in a air conditioned place
I moved the next floor down soon-
next to a lady who lit fires in her room
a lot of interesting stories in St. Paul
I will not forget-

interesting stories I confess.
