Afternoon burning.

Outside, a crow singing

in lord’s praise

while I finish my glass o’beer

it’s twice sunny today

and the roads are on fire

and so are all the vehicles

I lie down in my bed

with a ceiling fan right through

my stomach

and I switch it on full speed

because if that doesn’t bring me some cool

then nothing else will.
