Three Dog Night

(cold front arrives on Papalote Mountain)

The wind brought knives to Botticelli’s fight,
leaves running away to asphalt,
feet unseen, hearts dizzy,

the sun an ice cube in the sky
while in California the pop star
Britney Spears gets out of a car

wearing a skirt, no underwear,
the media masturbates,masterly,
summer, winter, fall, appalled.

The wind brought knives to Botticelli’s fight
but, ah, that sneaky Botticelli pulled out a gun
and shot them dead in the head.
