Summer in Montana, Pt. 5: August

August is a month of misery and new beginnings.
In my corner of the world, it usher's academe's first inning
With the sun's fiery whip and sweat's silken chains.
It abuses, oppresses. It frustrates and strains,
Til one curiosity’s all that helps me soldier on:
The year's hottest hour's just before summer's gone.
