"Nerd Girl Goes Swimming"

Mosquitoes devour my legs
Bikini wet in the sweltering sun
I prefer to stay inside
My hair flops about my face as I surface
An oh-so-glamorous sight
Hot asphalt meets trembling fingers
Back to the computer I go
Screen door slamming shut
The house is frigid, frosty
Are you happy now, mom?
