Vice-President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
August flopped heavily
Sweatily
Vociferously
and fully aware of the pressure
building in the heated
air.
Little relief in scattered
rains that shattered
a populace already battered
by heated rhetoric
over the curtained waves of
air.
Two-thousand twenty-five
reasons to despair
the planned assault on our care
of one another and a planet
dumb-soaked without a care for
air.
August is hard to breathe in,
in and out, and in again;
cheering on Harris-Walz
awaiting the slightest breeze of
air.
I can breathe again.
We can breathe again.
The earth can breathe again.
Finally, we can move forward again.
In November we can vote in cooled
air.
