On 12/4/2017, It Hit 70 Degrees in Colfax, Iowa

holiday isomers
cycloalkane
unforeseeable like
dribbling

drought people
spatter rapture
liplicking
their gigalitres

oh gosh the ac’s on
contratempered
gauge damn it
the petrocaer

the ecru sod
the rimeless
apocrine advent
dead dent flint

corn pheasant furrows
outfunct gulleting
gravelchaff near
epileaving easements

meek lukewarmlings
sniff dank pascals
the deadsporing
once winter
