<p style="text-align:left;"><em>As the Weather Became So Heated</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The Dogs Stuck Out Their Tongues</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The Clouds Also, Started, Baking Up</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The White, Fluffy Clouds, Looking Like Broccoli or Cauliflower</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Planted Down, on the Field of the Blue Skies</em></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em>At Certain Time Each &amp; Every Spring</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Cold Air High in the Skies Started, Playing the Heat on Earth</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Thick Fog that Looked Like Satin Draped Over</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Falls Down on Everything Down Below</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Mountains Had, Smirked for a Bit</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Then, Vanished, Just, Disappeared</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>After Days of Continued Cold</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>People Who Found Covers in Their Scarves</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Seemed to Have Lost the Wills to Live</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Until One Day, the Fires Lit Up in the Skies</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Red Hot Lava Flowed Downward</em></p>

<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Maroon-Colored Dusk, Lit Up</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>That Peaceful River</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Apostles of the Clouds</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Lived Off of These</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>And Yet, the Smog Had Caused</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Days of Gray</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>To Increase</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Like Cataracts </em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Eyes, Looking into the Distances</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Losing Their Ways</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>In This Cross Intersection</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>With the Dust Particles Floating in Mid-Air</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And so, this, is what the environment looked like right now, with the dust particles, covering up the world, and this still, did NOT happen, OVERNIGHT either!</p>
