Summer
They’re talking about property
and refinancing, over coffee
at the Greek cafe. Meanwhile, with a smile
White Australia’s advancing,
and every problem's explanation
is “too much immigration!”
The book I'm reading doesn't care
about property or immigration,
or Trump, even Putin's defenestration
of certain opponents. Only the stare
of a passing apatosaurus
at a crouched allosaurus in the fern,
their footprints cast in porous
sedimentary rock. I burn
in the noon with its cicada chorus,
for a world that won't return.
