Heat
bounced off plexiglass shelter
softened old gum on the sidewalk
Heat
hot breezes swirled gutter dust
metallic blue sky domed the city
Heat
pushed sundresses and t-shirts into
air-conditioned stores and restaurants
Heat
seductively wrapped around me,
draining me of energy as I waited.
“It was like riding into the blast of a hair-dryer set on hot.”
~ Colin Cotterill, Thirty-Three Teeth
