Painting by Henry Rousseau, 1907.

not yet
My barometer
hovers in space
between hot and hotter
I rummage for tepid words
the dictionary people
are not pleased
to find me
looking aimlessly
at pictures of exotic places
with naked snake charmers
daydreaming kisses
like soft sweet leeches
I stare and cross my legs
become a holy man
too hot for anything
except swearing
