Bits of Stuff to Come

Under a summer sun
Slowly tinkering tottering by
Out snaps a hand to swat the fly
A lazy time in lazy heat
Rising hazy off the street
Cool-air cars rolling slow
A/C broken, windows low
At the stoplight, sweaty sheen
Waiting, begging for the green
Kids in pools and sprinklers, too
Popsicles melting into goo
