Pirouette
It's a dull today sharp shadows are ephemerate
Humidity’s high with unconcerned oppression
Temperature has chosen to fight above its weight
The Thermidex inflated like a hucksters come on
Tar melts leaves wilt changes of a sodden style
My glance at her back is slowed by wet wool air
She has no right to look so fresh so crisply agile
Her hair her dress her gait it’s somehow so unfair
She bounces with boundless effortlessness
While I sit here breathless in drenching sweat
Unaffected she runs and grins while I express
My grandfather awe at her Pirouette
