the weather report

the sun
has moved closer to the earth.
they haven't
told us this
yet, but it has.
they don't want to scare us.
and yet.
eggs are scrambled
on heads,
dogs sleep
in the streets,
the wings of birds catch fire.
squirrels hot foot
it across the road with
parasols,
the herd is being thinned.
it's going to be
a hot one today,
don't go out, lie in
a tub of ice,
stay in.
