Another Summer Living on Cigarettes
It’s not even Memorial Day
and they are already talking apocalypse
it will change everything, the way
you eat think educate your children
I stockpile potable water
own a firearm
It’s like this every summer
Blight creeps up the coast
like a fever
drops fruit from the tree
The ashtray overfilled
Wood houses in Pennsylvania
rot in the swelter
A green sickness
flowers over everything
