out here
the supermarket
developed a space
in my village
to quickly attract
suburban sprawl
in concrete replication
where dinner table meals
are nutritionally exact
and so when rain falls
it confuses
the street struggle residents
with its shopper trolley clatter

news media tells me
of the heat
around the globe
intense
in world leaders
and our lawmakers
whose frustrations
in defence of justice
fumes
enough almost, to start fires
