A bit of fevered verse: In honor of the Pittsburgh Marathon

Saudi spring

Heat encapsulates

Enervates of course

Shrink wraps as a

Second skin, stir

Frying any stray

Initiative

Incendiary as

Scorching the soul

To brittle crisp

Smothering thought

Beyond "how hot?"

Few steps fatiguing

As a marathon

Melt-down and

could go on-and-on

But stop to ask:

Hot enough for you?

For Caitlin, her SPC team and all the Burghers running the Marathon, run the good race and HYDRATE!
