just a bit exaggerated?

on these hot days i try to picture

the Portland TV reporter standing

at Sylvan Hill with snowflakes

drifting around her and melting

into the wet sidewalk while she

exclaimed, “We’re reporting

from a white-out!”

look, there’s that blue planet

look, there’s that blue planet again

the one with the face of a woman

and that tiny white moon

with the face of a man

no wonder they’re always side by side

by rounded side

too attracted to each other

for either to go away but each going

her or his own way, revolving, rotating

but sticking close - how funny

their gyrations look from here

I can’t imagine what their inhabitants

if they have any

see from where they are
