A Violation of the
First Law of Thermodynamics
A day so hot that ordinary tasks
Exhaust the body and the soul; to grasp
The handle of a water tap wearies the mind
To grasp a simple thought eludes one’s will
The day is in violation of childhood summers
When little bare feet scampered across the grass
Those days have in adulthood have been stolen
The victims lie abandoned in the dust
Who will lay these charges, and against whom?
And in what court should this strange case be placed?
