Yesterday it rained.
Fifty-five hundredths
over a three-hour period.
High plains equivalent
of a good, soaking rain.
Today it's clear and hot.
Winds gusting to 39 out of the south.
At least the dirt's not blowing.
Forecast's calling
for high nineties
the next three days.
Tourists driving through on I-70
see flat, boring, brown fields.
They don't realize
those are their groceries
burning up.
