earth note 216


yesterday i heard a fisher say
this december was more like summer
the heat and humidity unusual
puddles that don't evaporate easily
overnight condensation leaving
beads of sweat on the kayaks
     clear
     like droplets gathering
     then running down
just before the sun
finds and pokes a hole
thru the clouds

lizard blends in
under the kitchen table
     confused perhaps

Give the lizard a nickname: Gingrich, because it looks like a Newt to me.

wouldn't want to insult the lizard family.
