James, I don't understand this portion and how it relates to the rest of the poem: "an excessive near the Styrofoam." Also, why is "styrofoam" capitalized? Also, most of the words in your poem refer to the sizzling heat, but the summer wind is "gentle." Haiku should always be about, and reflect, something in nature, but the theme turns here to "melting man burns within him" which seems to refer to the man's emotions. Just wonderin'.
