This Solar Province

The sidewalks have turned on the crowds,
killing against all adulation
as massive plumes erupt from their plastic surface,

following the ritualised forms of traditional dresses.
The new defense ministry is giving free samples
(dropped from aircraft) of an elaborate molecule

in rainbow hues like artificial azaleas.
In a city under a hot-water ocean,
a laboratory of the unnecessary.
