Assertiveness

Assertiveness It is very hot I have switched off the air-condition and opened up windows, it is supposed to be hot in July. I hadn’t wanted to buy air- cooling in the first place, I’m too placid and get swayed to do the wrong things. I sit on the terrace on the terrace, in a plastic chair that is easy to move around I used to have had a chair of real wood before I liked more, but it was given to someone poor; I think about it and get upset I ought to put my foot down and say: No. Summers past I sat in my heavy timber chair and smoked my cigarettes, the burn kept mosquitoes away, now it is frown upon and I dastardly I quit, but I do have a packet of fags in the drawers; maybe one day, if I get pissed off enough by the virtuous, I’ll lit up and enjoy my august nights.
