Brains!

Summer moves along
at speed of a jaguar,
fast paced Ramones song,
an Indy 500 car.
Whipping up heat
gaseous moisture hangs
dripping from head to feet
as dust motes float in gangs.

In three piece suits & dresses
heat-wave zombies roam
with greasy, limp, tresses
looking for a cooler home.
Heavy breathing, gasping,
mouths & tongues loll
hot, dry voices rasping,
dog days take their toll.

Dog days take their toll.
