The great sky father has bequeathed
a humidifier for this fledgling city.
Trees stand straight among drying weeds,
dogs pant by on their way to a river swim,
steering wheels melt in drivers' hands,
secretaries lose their heels in soft roads
as sirens wail along the coast as sharks
swim between flags for the best tucker.
'Shall I compare thee ..' Not likely, Bill.
She'll be a long hot summer,
and that's a fact.
