finding shade

rivers have run dry
temps raise to 110 degrees
where the blacktop will melt sneakers
tires
and bare feet bottoms
since the fuel ran out
travel during the day consists of finding shade
along your walk
if you’ve got a bike
even better
you can find an oasis of deflection
at longer intervals
if your tires don’t explode from the heat
