the heat
is extraordinary
the heat is a tower
hanging bed sheets between towers
tightrope walkers collecting linen
crisp white crackling
the pig flies
the heat
is a falling piano
glenn gould
floats
in humidity backwards
jazz blow flies
syncopate pedestrian crossing chimes
in bin littered alleyways
leaking figurines usher
inflatable pool toys
into smiling cheshire delirium
hopeful
waterlogged
respite
the heat
is extraordinary
the heat
is enough to talk
to myself
about how hot it is
hissing
the last summer
stretched over a dining table
of imaginary
sweaty
apostles
pace the apartment
the heat
is extraordinary
the heat
is a zuper duper
on a gas stove melting
the heat
is tap dancing
on a tin roof
in the morning
quietly
slowly
the heat
is extraordinary
the heat
is driving
thirty minutes to enoggera reservoir
with no air conditioning
the heat
is kicking
the fucking
windscreen out
for air movement
the heat
is extraordinary
the heat
is stopping at Bunnings
renting an angle grinder
and hacking the roof off
the animal
mechanical
sacrifice
to the g-d of fuck off
while spitting at the sun
the heat is on
stabs through the radio
throbbing
vibrating and sweating
through a glorified sunburn saloon
the heat is on
oh is it
the heat
is pulling over
on coopers camp road
pulling
the fucking
radio out
and stomping it into the street
the heat
is in the water
the heat
is cool
the heat
is cool
