My "first really hot, horrible summer" was the summer of 1990 in New York, on
4th Street between First and Second Avenues. I had moved to the city with $2k
and began by subletting a studio apartment from the acquaintance of a distant
friend -- yikes -- at prohibitive cost. Getting a job was urgent, and this
had to be accomplished in early August when the noon mercury registered 104
degrees. The studio air conditioner was broken and the windows of my tiny
cell, with their spectacular second-floor airshaft view, were painted shut,
making it hotter inside than out. Many late evening spent in parks.
Then that acquaintance of a distant friend tried to raise the rent on me
mid-month... but that's another story.

Signora granda, testa che massa
massa ne passa, che quasi schissa,
Dia dei sostegni de cese e palassi
Dia de le taje che su ne tien fissi
Dia de le onde che le ne fa grassi,
ne ingrassa de ogni grassia, Dia Venessia -
aàh Venessia aàh Venàssia aàh Venùsia
