Heatwave


Heatwave.
the stifling urban heat...
so the city is soaking up the sun
the roads are melting
tracks are buckling 
pollution increases
health is affected 
people are fainting
A+E's overflow
no relief can be found...

so we turn up the fans
cool water in fridges
make more ice 
eat icecream
crank up the air-con
open the fridge door
drive to the coast...

so we use more resources 
burn fossil fuels
drain finite resources 
feed global warming 
unstabilising the weather
making it still hotter
and hotter
and hotter
and hotter...

so we go round and round 
and get hotter and hotter
hotter more often
get another heatwave 
heatwaves more often
another heatwave 
another
another
another 
another!

More
and more
and more 
and more!

Stop!
