we had global warming
in our own
brick duplex
near the bowling alley.
no a.c.
in the house,
but we had large fans,
black
clunkers that would
swing back and forth with
the sound
of a jet engine.
sometimes my mother
would position
a bowl of ice
in front of it, to increase
the cooling effect.
how's that, she'd say
as we wiped our
brows
and nodded yes,
drinking her cold
lemonade.
