Vermes the taxon of Linnaeus and Lamarck
exit the earth in rain only to disappear
relatively slowly once the earth's surface dries
instantly with the heat of summer from solstice
shimmering in water on the concrete pavement
in sunlight or streetlights from the overhead lamps
murdering the starlight and potential for stars
in Chicago where death runs along the sidewalks
laughing at all the blood the bodies left to rot
in the heat of summer until the coroner
takes the corpses away off the asphalt blacktop
until they find the cold inside the morgue too much
despite the fact their nerves no longer work to feel
evidence contrary to this belief is lies
