Everyone's talking about the heat
but a month from now we'll
be talking about how good it was
how it was great while it lasted
like Malibu Thursdays and who knows
what to say to that.
My misgivings have left us burned
and the momentum of that has
been enough to carry lunches
and provide enough lucidity for
vague notions of powerful things
to be brought up and twinkled, but
not quite carried through.
The summer storms back home
must be starting about now.
