Canada is afire and I’m confused, shouldn’t the snow put that out?

The Boston sky is an interesting shade of mustard yellow,

Lisa, drowsily asleep-walked into the kitchen for her morning coffee.
“So this is Mars,” I observed, “Elon Musk will be so jealous.”

“There’ll be no breathing today.” I updogged.

“There’s aaaa bright golden haze over Boston..” Lisa began to sing softly.

Pink and green shimmer
The voice of leaves and roses
Life sees the butterfly
