Pre summer heat
Record temperatures in California
Ice melts into the streets of LA
phase changes into water
Human levees defend their own

Chants of shame incur a boiling point
The president demands a flood
Says it’s “to cleanse alien blood”
Adds force to the charge
The National Guard is on the offensive

“This is to defend our land”
A slippery ***** to Marsh
Shall all protests be met with early nights
Law is an inconvenient opinion
Meanwhile

FEMA has been distilled to vapor
What’s a hurricane season
Disaster evaporates into a state problem
The White House has a weather machine
This is my first crack at a response poem.
