WET BULB 2

The heat broke. Leaving
millions of
Destitute businessmen,
black slimes
After fernet and healthy
snacks
And a blowout
Is the party over? Can
we try cocaine?
The weed is wild and it’s
glowing and
I traced a desire line
back to you.
You in the bath,
On drugs in wet bulb
My interest in you
piqued
In this viral weather
Contain your
combustive motivation
Unbark that dog on the
sidewalk
Crying out for you to
Do something about the
people
Dying in wet bulb
