My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

Summer Haze

It's too hot to be this stupid.
Climate change is real folks,
a spillage that devours
claims to fixed names.
A glimmer is not a trigger
but the sidewalks shimmer with heat.
Laborers and homeless
crumble and wither.
Monstrous storms brew
off the coast of Africa.
The kids start school on Thursday
and pray for hurricane days.
The electric bill keeps rising
despite the kirtan of ceiling fans.
Thoughts are muddled.
Is it a fever, creeping mold
or just the summer haze?
