cyclical or climate change
effect’s still the same
the privileged are sheltered
how can we ease suffering

record breaking heat
cyclical or climate change
effect’s still the same
the privileged are sheltered
how can we ease suffering
the last day of May
chasing the windiest month
huffing and puffing
day after Christmas
unseasonably warm temp
almost record high

grey mist in August
feels more like fall than summer
is there food inside
following the wake
breathing in gasoline fumes
what’s our legacy
