The Cool Change

John
Bought a motorcycle
To work on
Instead of working on
Getting heroin.

John had never heard
Of zen
Or the art of motorcycle maintenance,
But there
He was.

Until we had five days
And five nights
Of heat
And John
Had no air conditioning.

And John
Got heroin
And John’s motorcycle
Rusted
In the rain
Of the cool change.
