TUCSON SOLICITUDE

by Mather Schneider

is the luck
of the heat-beat.

Monsoon claustrophobia
stuffs wet rags down our throats
while the nights become
our spit-on respite.

Television weathermen
are strung up at noon, radios
shot-gunned.

Every drugged-up drama queen
throws a tantrum for dignity
and a glorious life
without struggle.

The sun shimmers
like orange marmalade

and even the music
melts.
