Mugginess Madness
...Mugginess madness
Cumulonimbus on fire
Smoke-stacked preparedness
Heaven’s quivers edgy bolts
ready to aim
Plummet to feverish terrain

stirring up Egypt

Where the Cans Are
...Alone and hungry
left leg aches like a broken peg
in the mugginess of its left slipper.

For exercise at dawn
Until today, when to the river
We were strongly drawn.

‘Cause people would avoid it
If they only had the chance.
