Pressure Point
Stuck for 15 minutes on
the metrolink
with the heat pinned
to your face and hands
just before
Manchester Piccadilly
train station
you see the busker
outside
giving up as the
temperature goes over 30.
“This summer has been worse than 76,”
Someone else says.
“This is Global Collapse”
you nearly say.
