last night. Today, it’s a
nightmare of humidity.
Defenseless pigeons
swing around the
prison bars outside
shop windows in the not-
so-fancy parts of the city.
Earth to Pants, come in
Pants! whose genitals are
nearly frozen. Humans,
defenseless to weather’s
extremes, freeze and then
melt on the slick sidewalks,
are buttered, over-easy.
