Wavelets lap
the Capitol steps
marble cladding
pickled in brine.
Senators swash-
buckle in galoshes.
No way, they say, is
the sea-level rising,
ordering hip-waders
from Cabelas in case.
Hearings are held on
reported sightings of
Poseidon – a Greek.
Whose side is he on?
Wavelets lap the Cap-
itol steps, step by step.
