we cancelled
camping
for the heat
advisory
so I asked
what we’d do ~
take a tour
of Kroger’s
freezer section?
stand in Sam’s
where they sell
the milk and butter?
take cool comfort
in the movie
theater?
we talked
we discussed
we decided
we bought tickets
to the Immersive Titanic
exhibit in Atlanta
we’ll wear jackets
and talk through
chattering teeth
counting the minutes
back to the heat
