Summering in Hell

Drosophila sp. on a bowl
of peaches has always
been my summer enemy.

And, "I can't breathe"
referred to the heat--
remedied by a hand fan.

Duped by deceit,
ignorance, or apathy,
in 2020, some will

summer in hell where
The Fruit Fly expects
the sweetest peach.

You should know him
instinctively, but if not:
his eyes match his tie.
