Marigolds wilt in courtyard boxes. A forest blooms beyond the flowers. Bikini hands lotion legs and shoulders. She is Venus with lavender toenails. Women study Venus through tinted glasses.
Men contemplate the silicon climate.
A wasp lands on my towel. Newspapers and cloth slippers cover the ground. A New York husband leaves his Boston wife. He heads east, chasing yellow light. A wedding balloon floats to the moon.
