The Summer Solstice as Not Celebrated in Texas
One might as well call this an equinox
For night and day are equinoxious now:
Mosquitoes, soul-withering heat and damp
Itch-allergens and rattlesnakes not featured
In advertising fantasies about
Bugless, unbitten happy families
Posing with plates and carnivorous smiles
Before neighbor-envious chromium grills
And playing free of heat rash and pustules
Around surgically sterile swimming pools
