Beechwood Rooftops

Stark naked in an incoherent sunrise. 26 degrees in the Hamilton 6am. Pollution index 35 on its way to 54. A poor air quality day. Seniors and those with respiratory ailments are advised to stay indoors. Humidex to hit 44. Heat alert has been issued.

Awake since 3:53, I smoke cigarettes and skim through a two day old newspaper. Coffee drips. Sports scores and obituaries and photos of tanned girls in orange swimsuits limp through my insomniac brain in a metronomic malaise. The factory fires burn, protrude a hopeful glow in the sky above the Beechwood Avenue rooftops.
