Haiku U #9

It's Hot Up In Here

The inconvenient truth,
It's 99 degrees in the shade,

Swamp gave way to concrete tar machine,
Sun beats down hurricanes whiplash,

Precious blue gold aqua-marine,
Who will provide when times get lean,

Parched Everglades visions of vertical farms,
A slippy-slide to keep alive,

Ventilate, Hydrate.
