August in Valencia
And its impossible to see properties
Because owners are away
At the beach
Or in the mountains
And the streets are almost empty
The only thing that moves
Is an agent
Sweat trickling down back
Arriving home with precious information
Of an affordable apartment
Less than 200k with pool and balcony, parking and convenient to the city and airport
Not a trick of the heat
There are photos
AC by ducts, parking space and concierge
The agent finishes the listing
Then brings down the shutters and sits in the dark
Sweating and waiting
Waiting for September
