New Poem

2010 july 21


Whee-O, It’s Summer!

Once the sun hits it
you’re a goner,
you melt like butter
on a sidewalk
or an egg in a skillet

Like a sponge squeezed
the sweat dripping out
from under the rim
of your hat,
you just turn to a pool
of water

No sense trying 
to gather it back up either,
a waste of time,
better to get you one of those
triple-sized cup beverages
and when you go 
to tilt your head back
with that big swig, 
better have your sunglasses
on and in place
or your eyeballs will melt
and run out the back of your head.
Really. That’s all I got to say about it.
(c) 2010 Robert Otto
