Some Musings in the Solarium

by Simon Pettet

lizard sits on a rock

lizard sits

sun’s hot

sun refracted to lizard

through the spotlessly–clean high–rise

plate–glass windows.

lizard is not disturbed by this

not at all

lizard even opens self up wider,

stretch to properly adjust

to the sun’s rays

lizard finds health and warmth in the depth

of winter

— and this is not what lizard expects!
