weirdly grey and green
haze from all the forest fires in BC
a shroud over everything
on a cloudless day

breaking the rules
somedays
when it is very hot outside
and not much cooler in
things go a bit off the rails
stripping down and padding around
in small clothes
doing whatever needs to be done
to beat the heat
and maybe even lounging a little
on a cool tabletop
in the path of a fan
on a sultry summer day
all bets are off

in the air on Wednesday
the rhythmic bouncing of a basketball
the rustling of leaves
a persistent blue jay
children yelling
children laughing
a yawning kitten
swaying grasses
chirping squirrels
the stillness of a summer afternoon
and the daisies are already beginning
to nod on down for the season
stay with us won't you?
just a little while longer
let's enjoy this
while it lasts
the rustling of leaves
a persistent blue jay
children yelling
children laughing
a yawning kitten
swaying grasses
chirping squirrels
the stillness of a summer afternoon
and the daisies are already beginning
to nod on down for the season

afternoon electric
ribbons of oscillating air
and notes wafting up the stairs
an overcast saturday
'where i will live...
blue blue
electric blue'

melting 2/melting too
the ice in my glass is melting
greenland is melting
the arctic is melting
antarctica is melting
a plastic mailbox in arizona is melting
the pavement in india is melting
all over
all over
temperatures are rising
rising all over
but love is
as always
love
and hearts around the world
are melting
greenland is melting
the arctic is melting
antarctica is melting
a plastic mailbox in arizona is melting
the pavement in india is melting
all over
all over
temperatures are rising
rising all over
but love is
as always
love
and hearts around the world
are melting

drop anchor
nestle right into that pot on the patio
the one in the shade
between the heliotrope and the nasturtiums
the sun is beating down
and the humidex is climbing
tuck in for as long as you want
maybe even a little afternoon snooze
lulled by robins
as they serenade you

bunny buffet
mmm...munchmunchmunch...
the thing to do is to plant yourself and then get started...
just nestle into one of the pots and get down to business...
not in any particular order...just hunker in and nose on down...
portulaca...gazania...a few pansies...
and maybe lavatera...wait: no lavatera?
i guess we ate that already...
oh well...more of other stuff where that came from
how nice of these guys to plant so many of my favourites
so pretty and tasty...
