Summer Solstice Is Coming

given a double whammy
they wanted to double down
on double talk
   in the 
torrid gust

this weather channeled
source of telegenic storms
   the summer solstice 
and its sundry insectile eyes
   seething with sultry scorn
 
seasonal shifts are
 lost in translation
poisoned neural flowers
 the root of 
rotting neurosis
 as we become
Venusian

nuclear horses
 fly out of the digital barn
inspired by profoundly 
  tragic purpose
they sail over the 
  northern hemisphere
firing bolts of blinding light
 on the brain-dead surface

The Tropic of Cancer 
  and Capricorn
relax in the tropics
 The Sun 
lords it 
over the equator
  Precession calmly proceeds
23.44° is the Magic Number

All is well 
in the best of all 
  possible 
  flatlands
