Local Weather

It’s raining now but it ain’t raining in my heart.

My heart owns a unicycle.

My heart, that puffed up tropical bird…

Yes, there are these steep mathematics of aerial longing…

Butter your bread child.

Half a cloud, a quarter of a cloud, then sunlight above the fountain

Where the mermaid statue

Shows off her sparkling breasts…

What? No mermaid bosoms in Iowa City?

Check mate Mr. Duchamp, caught you looking!
