feel the heat
hat on
don’t stand in the shade
share the news
nods at progress made
‘its gonna be a hot one’
‘yeah, like in 74’
while dogs circle each other
and threaten savage war
‘sit down’
is all he said
his dog dropped to the floor
upright but looking dead
staccato conversation
economic with their syllables
when a nod can say so much
a nod and a wave and they’re off again
