                    i. Just now the sea-green banners fly

                    iii. It's midsummer and too hot to walk
                    iv. Summer earth is windless. Heat still presses
                    v. Light Clothes! Few Clothes!
                    vi. I remember desire like white light
                    vii. I raise my head to look at t'ung trees
*for soprano & computer music (soprano: Susan Narucki/texts: Tzu Yeh, 5th century Chinese poet)
**from the "Repo Man" soundtrack, the movie and soundtrack always remind me quite strongly of summer.

John Cage:
Indeterminacy 31
 
Once        when  I  was  a  child  in  Los  Angeles
       I  went  downtown  on  the  streetcar.
                It  was  such  a  hot  day  that,
            when  I  got  out  of  the   streetcar,
                 the   tar   on   the   pavement   stuck
  to   my   feet.                        (I   was   
barefoot.)         Getting   to   the   sidewalk,
               I   found   it   so   hot         that
  I   had   to   run   to   keep   from   blistering
  my   feet.                        I   went   into   a
  five   and   dime   to   get   a   root   beer.
                    When   I   came   to   the   counter
        where   it   was   sold   from   a   large
barrel         and   asked   for   some,
     a   man   standing   on   the   counter   high
  above   me   said,                  “Wait.   I’m   
putting   in   the   syrup         and   it’ll   be
a   few   minutes.”         As   he   was   putting
  in         the   last   can,                   he   
missed         and   spilled   the   sticky   syrup
        all   over   me.                         To   
make   me   feel   better,                   he   
offered   a   free   root   beer.
    I   said,                   “No,   thank    you.”
